Scarlett Johansson has just landed the role to be part of the most iconic murder scenes in cinematic history… she better not mess it up.

The 27-year-old actress has just signed on to play the actress Janet Leigh in the film “Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho.”

The film is about the making of the horror classic based on the nonfiction book of the same title by Stephen Rebello.

The film will also star Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock and Helen Mirren as his wife, Alma Reville.

It will center around the director’s decision to make and finance what was thought at the time to be a lowbrow horror film at the height of his directorial career.

The screenplay is being written by John J. McLaughlin who wrote the film “Black Swan.”

Being a little bit of a horror movie buff I am extremely excited about this project!
