Trivia:
|
- Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock film remade the same year: Rear Window.
- 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.
- In the famous shower scene where Anne Heche's character is stabbed to death, blood on the shower tiles, the knife, and Heche's wounds were all digitally added after filming to enhance the shock value.
- As Anne Heche approaches the car dealership where she exchanges cars, she passes a bus stop displaying a poster for Six Days Seven Nights in which she stars with Harrison Ford.
- Viggo Mortensen starred in another Hitchcock remake the same year, A Perfect Murder. In both movies he is the female protagonist's lover, begins the first scene of each film in bed with her, and is involved in a crime involving an identical amount of $400,000.
