The explanatory scene at the end, which Hitchcock was against doing, Van Sant cuts down considerably. ![]() There's an extra line of dialogue Van Sant restored in the estate agent scene between Marion and the millionaire, which was in the original 1960 script but cut - something along the lines of the millionaire saying he was going to Vegas ("The best playground in the world"), and Marion declines, saying she's going to bed, to which he replies, "The second best playground." However, it's not true that Van Sant adds nothing to his version - I've said all this before, so I'll just paste in previous remarks: I like it a lot, mostly as a film exercise more than an actual film. It's fairly well documented that Van Sant remade Psycho because Universal were going to do so anyway and he wanted to show that it didn't need to be remade in any other way as exactly as Hitchcock had already done it.
