Trivia:
|
- 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.
- The new house and motel sets were constructed directly in front of the original sets.
- 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.
- 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.
- The last frame in the film is a skull that is superimposed over Vince Vaughn's face. This is the same skull used in the last frame of Psycho, superimposed over Anthony Perkins's face.
