POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR PSYCHO (1960): Has several things in common with

Ed Gein
. Norman Bates enjoyed taxidermy as a hobby and had many stuffed birds around the Bates Motel. When Clarice Starling enters the "Your Self Storage" facility in
The Silence of the Lambs
, there is a self-conscious nod to this with a shot of a large stuffed bird very similar to the one on Normans wall.
Jonathan Demme
uses the same tracking shot that Hitchcock used when
Vera Miles
is approaching the Bates house on the hill at the end of
Psycho
(Demme uses it twice in
The Silence of the Lambs
; when Clarice is approaching her car outside the asylum after her first meeting with Hannibal Lecter and when she goes up to the coffin in the funeral home). The heroines in both movies share their surnames with types of birds; Marion Crane (
Janet Leigh
)/Lila Crane (
Vera Miles
) and Clarice Starling (
Jodie Foster
).
Julianne Moore

Gus Van Sant
s remake of
Psycho
and Clarice Starling in
Hannibal

Director
Oliver Stone
remembered that while casting the movie,
Kris Kristofferson
was thrown around by some as a potential Sgt. Elias, since he was in real-life close to the character in type, and had been an Airborne Ranger. Stone, however, was not keen, as Kristofferson was "way too old" and had not had a hit movie since
Convoy
.
c.
"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on December 1, 1940 with
Marlene Dietrich
reprising her film role.
d.
The Newfoundland band
Great Big Sea
very much wanted to have music in the soundtrack, so they "seeded" the stereos in directors and stars B&B with their CDs, hoping that the music would catch their attention.

Drew Barrymore
and
Jimmy Fallon
were filmed also celebrating together on the field. A brief shot of the filming could be seen live on the Fox broadcast of the World Series. Rewrites by
Peter Farrelly
and
Bobby Farrelly
had to be done immediately following the World Series game 7 clincher of the ALCS against the New York Yankees to include the historic 2004 Boston Red Sox post-season.
d.
In order to diffuse the tension prior to shooting (due mainly to the isolated location the stars would be working in together),
John Huston
made each lead actor a gold encrusted pistol with bullets- one with each actors name on it. This way, when the actors wanted to kill one another, they would use the designated bullet. This proved to be successful. No problems between the cast arose.
