New: Bates Motel Trailer & Preview

In March 2013, A&E will start its new series, Bates Motel, and the first trailer/behind-the-scenes clip has surfaced.

As we mentioned before, Bates Motel is obviously inspired by the Alfred Hitchcock classic, Psycho, however, it’s not a remake. It is a re-imagining and takes place in modern times, with smartphones and the Internet, which should provide young Norman (Freddie Highmore) with the resources to attain at least a cursory understanding that his Oedipal complex is wrong. But, given his mother (Vera Farmiga), we can hardly blame him for his obsession.

What do you think: Does A&E have another hit on its hands? Are you going to watch? How do you think this will compare to The Walking Dead, if at all, in terms of fan devotion?
