Trivia:
|
- In the original Psycho, Alfred Hitchcock wanted his opening shot to be a long, complete pan/zoom over the city into Marion's hotel room. Sadly, the technology was not yet perfected, and he achieved his effect through a series of pans and dissolves. The new Gus Van Sant remake does a complete travelling shot, as Hitchcock had intended.
- Gus Van Sant makes a cameo talking to someone looking just like Alfred Hitchcock in the beginning of the movie when Marion Crane enters the office after her lunch break. In the original version of Psycho, Hitchcock had a cameo in the same scene.
- Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock film remade the same year: Rear Window.
- During filming, Gus Van Sant brought along a DVD player and played the original Psycho, and they acted from that. When he spotted a mistake (a door opening without a key), van Sant decided to put the same mistake into his film.
- A sign for the Bates Motel reads "Newly Renovated."
