"Hitchcock director Sacha Gervasi has praised the film&amp;#039;s stars Jessica Biel and Scarlett Johansson. Gervasi told Life &amp;amp; Style that he was immensely proud to have cast Johansson as Janet Leigh and Biel as Vera Miles in his movie about the controversy surrounding Psycho.  &amp;quot;They&amp;#039;re amazing... They&amp;#039;re both extraordinarily beautiful and ridiculously talented, but they were very professional on set,&amp;quot; the director explained. Gervasi continued: &amp;quot;Scarlett took it incredibly seriously. She read all the books, she called Jamie Lee Curtis - Janet&amp;#039;s daughter - she got all her facts right, she researched what she wore, what she would be smoking on set, like she knew every biographical detail.&amp;quot; The filmmaker also credited Biel with bringing &amp;quot;a kind of vigour&amp;quot; to her portrayal of Miles.   &amp;quot;Obviously they&amp;#039;re big stars and extraordinarily beautiful, but as actresses on the set, they couldn&amp;#039;t have brought more,&amp;quot; he added. Johansson recently admitted that it was a challenge to play an iconic film star such as Leigh. Hitchcock is now playing in the US and hits the UK on February 8.
