Bates Motel

If they could pull this off it could be really interesting. But why bother with it now? Especially when that movie in the 80's failed so badly....

I'm sure there won't be a big audience for this. It is way past its prime to put this show out. Most people know the shitty remake of Psycho, and that has probably turned them off forever.

If Hitch is directing, I'm in. Otherwise....

Looks surprisingly good

What a nice surprise. I like how it doesn't look like its stealing too much from the original, only key elements. I might actually check it out.

[shanebotwin]

This does look decent. Taking the basic framework of the story and placing it in modern times is a pretty good idea. I just hope that they pull it off. The cast seems capable, especially Vera Farmiga. Definitely be checking it out.

[CountOrlok]

Less interested the more I hear about it. The cast just doesn't do it for me. And I'm not a fan of prequels or putting Psycho in a contemporary setting.

[Oxley]

Wwwweeeiiird.

But oddly interesting. I don't like how it'll be watered down for TV, although that being said Psycho (by today's standards) isn't exactly horrifying. So maybe it will work with keeping the feel of the original. I'll give it a shot if the chance arises.

PASS!!! Kidding, looks neat.

[shanebotwin]

I'll be giving this a shot. Hopefully it's more American Horror Story than CSI. Meaning I hope it's more horror than crime/drama.

I try to keep an open mind with re-makes or re-imaginings..... but then I saw Mockingbird Lane and what was done can never be un-done!!!

[shanebotwin]

I saw a few clips for Mockingbird Lane and it looked horrendous.

[horrorgeek]

Yeah... save yourself the trauma... it was terrible! (not that I was expecting anything else)

I will give the Psycho tv show a go though... I'm interested to see what they can add to the story..

[shanebotwin]

I wouldn't even bother with Mockingbird.

It'll be interesting to see how Psycho works in modern times. The sequels are modern but this show is a prequel to the original so I wonder how it'll be adapted. Very curious to see how it turns out.

[horrorgeek]

yeah.. I'll keep an open mind..

[shanebotwin]

I do like Vera Famiga and Freddy Highmore so they've done well in the casting of the leads.

[horrorgeek]

Definitely. There have been a few re-makes I have enjoyed, so I'm curious to see if I'll like this one. Psycho is one of my all time favourites, so I will be picky, but Halloween is an absolute favourite of mine and I didn't mind RZ's version of that, so we'll see

[shanebotwin]

Well if you didn't mind RZ's Halloween than you should be OK with this.

Did you see Hitchcock yet ?
