Whatever you may think of Hitchcock, whether you love his work or hate it, whether you think he was a creepy old man who took advantage of his position as a director or was slandered in the two movies about him that came out recently, it's pretty hard to deny his genius. Sir Alfred Joseph Hitchcock (PS - what a fabulous name!) was an innovator in the psychological thriller genre and is often referred to as 'The Master of Suspense'. But this post is not about Hitchcock himself...though I can guarantee there will be many of those in this blog's future. No, Lovelies, THIS post is about the new A&E series premiering next Monday, March 18 on A&E. I really haven't heard much about it, but the second I got wind of it, I became insanely excited! I LOVE Hitchcock and love how much there is to explore about the character of Norman Bates and his relationship with his mother.
If, unlike me, you don't mind a spoiler, you can watch the first 6 minutes of the pilot here, on the A&E site (totally legit).
Are you as excited as I am for the premiere of this show?!?!?
Personally speaking, Hitchcock was such a creep and not a lovable creep like David Lynch. BUT he did make some good flicks.
ReplyDeleteI'm also excited for the series but I think I read somewhere that it takes place in a "contemporary setting in the styling of the original psycho." I hope that's not the case...it would be lame to see someone whip out a cell phone.
You heard right, this is set in a contemporary setting, but everything I've seen is trippy because it LOOKS like Psycho. Because the Bates Motel is in the middle of nowhere, I think it will still have an older feel...and personally, as long as they are telling a great story, I'm not going to mind the cell phones.
