The Pet Shop Boys have written a song for Psycho, appropriately called Screaming. Soundtrack will be available on Geffen.

"Vince Vaughn was not even in my imagination as being close to right for Norman Bates. But he had a really interesting quality I wasn't expecting. It had nothing to do with Tony Perkins, and that opened up a way to avoid a stereotype."
-Gus Van Sant, Movieline, Dec/Jan



"Had I known there was going to be a Psycho, I probably wouldn't have done Clay Pigeons, because I wouldn't have wanted to play two serial killers — especially female serial killers," he admits. "Now I'll need to get away from that!"

"There is a handful of directors I would love to work with. Gus Van Sant is one of them."
