Scarlett Johansson certainly breaks the mould of the Hollywood size zero trend, and as a result her curves take centre stage in a new movie focusing on Alfred Hitchcock’s process of making Psycho.

The Prestige actress fills the role of Janet Leigh, who was famously ‘killed’ in the shower scene for her Golden Globe-winning performance as Marion Crane in the 1960 suspense/horror film.

In the first look at the trailer, Scarlett’s feminine form is alluded to twice, once over a dinner meeting with Hitchcock [Anthony Hopkins] and again when the filmmaker speaks to his wife [Helen Mirren].

Scarlett, 27, swans into frame during the trailer wearing in a low-cut halter neck peach satin dress, before sitting across the table from Hitchcock to discuss the role.

As the New Yorker begins to gesticulate, she asks: ‘How exactly are you going to shoot this shower scene? Well, it’s only from here up I’m not exactly boyish.’

Towards the end of the footage, we also see Helen’s character Alma Reville tell her husband: ‘Ooh, you imp! You’ve got nudity in there.’
