A&E Psycho for a New Prequel Series – Bates Motel

Does anybody here remember Mick Garris’ Psycho IV: The Beginning? It was a prequel of sorts to the original Psycho detailing just how Norman … well … became Norman. If you can’t recall, don’t worry! A&E is looking to remind you once again with a new prequel series.
This morning the cable network made the following announcement:
“Bates Motel” serves as a prequel to the most famous fright film of all time, Psycho. A&E is currently in script development. “Bates Motel” will give viewers an intimate understanding of how Norman Bates’ psyche developed from his childhood through his teen years. Fans will have access to the dark, twisted back story and learn first-hand how his mother, Norma, and her lover damaged Norman, helping forge the most well-known serial killing motel owner in history.
Okay then. Way back in 1987 a previous attempt was made to turn Psycho into an anthology series, but it ultimately failed. How will this one fare? Time will tell. Stay tuned.
