Bates Motel
Insisting that it's not remaking Psycho and promising to "challenge everything you think you know," here is the first full trailer for A&E's Bates Motel, which is both remaking Psycho and presenting you anew with everything you know you know. But still, even though there are plenty of winks and nods here to well-established territory—Norman Bates' unhealthy, incestuous relationship with his mother; glimpses of familiar windows, showers, taxidermied animals, and big knives—and we all know perfectly well how this story turns out, the update to a more contemporary setting (Cell phones! Raves!) technically makes Bates Motel a "reimagining," to paraphrase costar Nestor Carbonell.
