Directed by: Gus Van Sant
Starring: Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen, Vince Vaughn, William H. Macy, Anne Heche
Norman Bates: A boy's best friend is his mother.
Norman Bates: Dirty night.
Milton Arbogast: We're always quickest to doubt people who have a reputation for being honest.
Norman Bates: We all go a little mad sometimes.
Milton Arbogast: Oh, someone has seen her, all right. Someone always sees a girl with $400,000.
Deliberate mistake: When the CA. trooper is at the front of her car, the Arizona license plate is shown. In 1989, Arizona began issuing a single license plate and that plate is always on the back of the vehicle. This is deliberate, as the remake follows the original movie shot by shot, and there the trooper checks the front license plate.
Trivia: Director Gus van Sant has a cameo at the beginning of the movie when Marion enters the office after her lunch break - he is talking to someone looking just like Alfred Hitchcock.
Question: About 15 minutes in why does the view in the rear view mirror show the police car and a semi being driven from the right-hand side and the police car pulling off the left side of the road? I think this is a double negative. This is not what you will see in a car mirror. (01:15:50)

Answer: What is shown is what you would see in the rearview mirror. Being in the mirror, it's a reverse image. Think about if you were looking at the cars pulled over head on/facing the driver, the road and the driver would be on your right. Shots in the mirror though shows the road and the driver on your left, the reverse.
