You know, come to think of it, forget Vaughn, because I'm wondering how the guy who did 'Good Will Hunting', of all people, ended up being the one to remake 'Psycho', but don't worry people, because the only big difference between this production and the original is the fact that, instead of the woman playing Marion Crane, the director was probably flirting with Viggo Mortensen. Oh, if only this film was that much of a departure from the themes of its source material, but this remake is so overtly close to the original 'Psycho' that Van Sant had the audacity to even make a crowbarred cameo at the same point in the story in which Alfred Hitchcock made a crowbarred cameo. Shoot, looking at how much Vaughn's Lester Long character was obsessed with Joaquin Phoenix's Clay Bidwell character, I'm thinking that he was trying to cover something up with his womanizing, and that this is both a continuation of 'Clay Pigeons' and of Gus Van Sant's efforts to innovate gay drama filmmaking.

Well, actually, I'm probably the only guy who thought that Vaughn was awesome in that film, but either way, the point is that they could have gotten a worse person to play an iconic serial murderer.

is something that I would expect to be said by someone who didn't see 'Clay Pigeons' the same year this film came out. No matter how startlingly faithful, a remake of a critical hit has to figure out some way to tick people off, and sure enough, whoever thought to cast Vince Vaughn as Norman Bates as Norman Bates must be a psycho.

Rose Marie provides the voice for Norma Bates in this film.Marion Crane must have stole way more than $400,000, from the box office, that is, because I'd imagine plenty of people were expecting this film to make big money, you know, up until they saw the cast.

Van Sant is uncredited in the film in this capacity. This is a nod to Alfred Hitchcock's cameo in the original Psycho as a man walking across the street.

Gus Van Sant makes a cameo appearance as a man talking to another man in a cowboy hat.

Roy Brocksmith is uncredited in this film.

This is largely considered the first of what will become many remakes of classic horror films, though the trend doesn't really begin taking off for several more years.
