Let's hope Highmore doesn't become newly typecast as a baddie in the way that Perkins was. It's worth noting that this sort of against-type casting is exactly what Hitchcock did with Anthony Perkins in the original film, as he'd previously been confined to clean-cut, likeable characters. So Highmore will be the younger Norman Bates, with the series digging into the birth and nurturing of his twisted family relationship.

Norman Bates is the hidden and true main antagonist of Alfred Hitchcocks 1960 horror film Psycho and its 1998 remake of the same name. Either that, or he’s just decided to try something very different, as he’s signed to play the young Norman Bates in TV prequel Bates Motel.
