Trivia for
Psycho (1998) Plus avec IMDbPro »

• As Anne Heche approaches the car dealership where she exchanges cars, she passes a bus stop displaying a poster for Six Days Seven Nights (1998) in which she stars with Harrison Ford.
  
  
• Viggo Mortensen starred in another Hitchcock remake the same year, A Perfect Murder (1998). 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.
  
  
• Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock remake this year: Rear Window (1998) (TV).
  
  
• During filming, Gus Van Sant brought along a DVD player and played the original Psycho (1960), and they used it for reference. When he spotted a mistake (a door opening without a key), van Sant decided to put the same mistake into his film.
  
  
• The kitchen knife is credited as belonging to John Woo.
  
  
• Cameo du metteur en scène: [Gus Van Sant] 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 (1960), Hitchcock had a cameo in the same scene.
  
  
• The new house and motel sets were constructed directly in front of the original sets.
  
  
• The exterior motel set was the same one used in the original Psycho (1960). However, the house was a new set constructed directly in front of the old house on the backlot at Universal Studios. On completion of filming, they moved this second house alongside the first for the backlot tour.
  
  
• A sign for the Bates Motel reads "Newly Renovated."
  
  
• 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 (1960), superimposed over 'Anthony Perkins'' face.
  
  
• In the original Psycho (1960), 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 opening shot zooms into the Westward Ho Hotel just north of downtown Phoenix. The corresponding shot in the original Psycho (1960) shows the Heard Building, which at that time had a radio broadcast antenna atop it; but by the time of the remake, the tower had been removed, so Gus Van Sant used the Westward Ho, which still has one.
  
  
• Nicole Kidman and 'Drew Barrymore' were considered for the role of Marion. Kidman could not fit it in due to a scheduling conflict and Barrymore was turned down for being too young to star opposite Vince Vaughn.
  
  
• Cinematographer Christopher Doyle had not seen the original Psycho (1960) when he shot this remake.
  
  
• Bernard Herrmann's score for the original Psycho was adapted by Danny Elfman and Steve Bartek for this remake. Elfman and Bartek used vintage microphones for the recording.
  
  
• The buttons on Marion's dress are the same pattern as on the shower curtain.
  
  
• The scene with Marion talking to the police officer on the highway was the first scene to be shot.
  
  
• Anne Heche had never seen the original Psycho before being cast as Marion Crane.
  
  
• The peep hole in the parlor is covered by a painting by French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard. The painting, titled "The Lock", depicts a man preparing to rape a woman.
  
  
• In Mr. Lowerys office the following exchange is heard: CASSIDY (to Marion): You should take a vacation in Las Vegas, playground of the world! MARION: Thank you, but I think I'll spend this weekend in bed. CASSIDY: Only playground to beat Las Vegas. The last sentence was in the original script used by Hitchcock, but he had to cut it due to the censors. Van Sant put it into the movie as Hitchcock originally intended.
  
  
• In the last scene of the film, "Mother"s monologue is a multi track of three voices: "Mother" from this version, a male voice (probably Norman), and "Mother" from the 1960 version.
  
  

• SPOILER: 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.
