There’s an interview with director Gus Van Sant at the onion a.v. club and in it he mentions danny. not a big deal or anything, but it’s a little interesting.
O: Why do you think the nature of your Psycho remake upset people in ways that other remakes do not?
GVS: I don’t know. That’s a good question. One reason, I suppose, is that we said we were going to remake it and copy the shots. That was really the only difference between Psycho and other remakes. And also because it’s Psycho, which has really become a brand name. The first person I told about the film was Danny Elfman, who I thought would be perfect to do the score. After hearing the idea, his first reaction was, “The critics will kill you. They will absolutely kill you.” I said, “Yeah, but is that a reason to do or not to do a film?” It was almost scary the way he prophesied it, and he was right. They did kill me. [Laughs.] I guess I asked for it.
Hey, that’s funny!
