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.
     
  • The new house and motel sets were constructed directly in front of the original sets.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Robert Forster is featured in another Alfred Hitchcock film remade the same year: Rear Window.
     
  • A sign for the Bates Motel reads "Newly Renovated."
     

Credits Fun:

  • Thanks to John Woo for use of his kitchen knife.
     
  • The logo for Imagine drips in blood instead of water.
     
  • If you look closely at the swamp after the end credits, the water turns red, obviously to blood.
