November 1, 2012 - Hitchcock premieres at Grauman's Chinese Theatre tonight

***Update***  I've heard from a few that Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson and Dame Helen Mirren won't be attending tonight due to scheduling conflicts.  I haven't seen a press release on who is attending, but assumed the stars would be in attendance.  Guess we'll all have to wait and see who shows up.  Sorry for any inconvenience to anyone planning on attending.   

The AFI FEST kicks off with the premiere of the highly anticipated movie Hitchcock at Grauman's Chinese Theatre tonight!  The cast (Sir Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Biel, Scarlett Johansson, James D'Arcy, Michael Stuhlbarg, Dame Helen Mirren, Ralph Macchio and others) and filmmakers are all scheduled to start walking the red carpet at 6:30 p.m.  If you're planning on attending for celebrity spotting, I highly recommend arriving early.

Grauman's Chinese Theatre is located at 6925 Hollywood Boulevard and directions can be found here.  You can park at Hollywood & Highland Center for 4 hours for $2.00 after validation (which you can get at the information booth without having to purchase anything).  For further information, please call Grauman's Chinese Theatre at (323) 465-4847.
