Psycho: The Remake
As reported earlier, Universal Pictures and director Gus Van Sant is remaking Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960). Bernard Herrmann’s original music will be used in the film, produced and adapted by composer Danny Elfman. Three cues from the new (October) recording–Prelude, The Murder, and Finale– will appear on a “soundtrack” CD on December 1st. The rest of the CD will be songs unrelated to the film (sigh). More info is available at http://www.universalpictures.com/psycho“>. A trailer is also available but I would recommend spending the download time on the new Star Wars trailer instead (http://www.starwars.com“>, completely unrelated to Herrmann, though). The new Psycho will open in US cinemas on December 4th. Wonder if they’ll let you see the ending first…
