Lionsgate are relaunching the world-famous "Psycho'' franchise…. Only a smaller scale than the series is used to.
In association with Vertigo Entertainment, the shingle has announced development on ''The Bates Motel'', a new small-screen endeavour inspired by the classic Hitchcock film (and its sequels).
You may recall that another project called ''Bates Motel'', also a spin-off of the Psycho series, was released back in 1987. The NBC telemovie, starring the likes of Bud Cort and Lori Petty, told of a mentally disturbed man, someone who roomed with the late Norman Bates at the state lunatic asylum, who inherits the legendary Bates Motel after the death of Norman and tries to fix it up to make it a respectable business.
No word whether the new project will be connected to the abovementioned telemovie.
