Boyd HiltonHOST
Exactly.
Boyd HiltonHOST
I watched some of the new series of The Assassin because I interviewed, yesterday, Keely Hawes and Freddie Highmore, who are the stars.
Boyd HiltonHOST
Did you watch The Assassin season one?
JordanCORRESPONDENT
No. No?
RomeroHOST
Has there ever been a movie or a series that had to focus on norman bates's mother i feel like there was
ZachHOST
there was um there was there was a series um i think it was called bates motel but it was kind of reimagining because it was set in like modern times it wasn't set in the 60s but what's her name vera farmiga was the main oh that's right freddie highmore uh was the the kid so he was like a young norman bates so it was kind of between the two of them and yeah She actually dies, I think, at the end of the second to last season in like physically.
ZachHOST
And then like in she's just in the flashbacks in his mind in the final season.
ZachHOST
But it changes the it changes the story because like it's so it's a reimagining.
DiegoGUEST

Jason FraleyHOST
My students at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland ranked Rebecca and Notorious as their favorites so far heading into fall break, while the second half of the semester brings Rear Window, Vertigo, North by Northwest, and The Birds.
Jason FraleyHOST
But today, Beyond the Fame celebrates Hitchcock's most iconic 1960 masterpiece, Psycho, by revisiting my 2016 chat with Freddie Highmore, who played the young Norman Bates across Vera Farmiga in the A&E prequel series Bates Motel.
Jason FraleyHOST
I'm here with the one and only Freddie Highmore, who plays Norman Bates in A&E's Bates Motel.
Jason FraleyHOST
It's a great show.
Jason FraleyHOST
If you guys haven't checked it out yet, you're a little behind.
Freddie HighmoreGUEST
I think the nuances, as you say, to his performance and the fact that he always made it so grounded and understandable and the normality behind this guy who was running a motel that wasn't overtly, well, certainly wasn't overtly a serial killer and was maybe just a little bit odd, but someone who was at the same time very likable and you could kind of get on his side.
Freddie HighmoreGUEST
And that's what we've tried to replicate, I think, with the Norman on on Bates Motel.
Jason FraleyHOST
Yeah, in addition to sort of replicating what worked well with Perkins, how do you then sort of make him your own, a little, you know, Freddie Highmore's take on him?
DustinHOST
I should have.
EricHOST
That was with Vera Farmiga and Freddie Highmore.
EricHOST
Right.
EricHOST
Yeah, that was really going.

speaker_1HOST
Right, based on the incredibly beloved yet undeniably unsettling children's novel by Roald Dahl.
speaker_1HOST
The film stars Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka, a young Freddie Highmore as Charlie Bucket, and Helena Bonham Carter as Mrs. Bucket.
speaker_0HOST
Okay, we really have to address the towering purple velvet suited elephant in the room here.
speaker_1HOST
Gene Wilder.
Troy ZantuckGUEST
Yes, and, uh, a singer of sorts, Fiona
CameronAUDIENCE

James Barker-HillHOST
Um, I think the kids were all right.
James Barker-HillHOST
Freddie Highmore gave a good performance as Charlie Bucket.
James Barker-HillHOST
Um, Violet Beauregarde, I actually preferred the performance in this one to the original.
James Barker-HillHOST
But nothing will compare like that Veruca Salt in the Tim Burton one to the original Veruca Salt.
