[release]Bryan Fuller’s ([I]Heroes[/I], [I]Pushing Daises[/I]) [I]Hannibal[/I] project just got a direct-to-series order. NBC has picked up 13 episodes of the thriller TV series based on Thomas Harris’ classic cannibal serial killer.
“One-hour contemporary thriller series featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel [I]Red Dragon[/I] – FBI agent Will Graham and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter – who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship.”
Fuller is focusing on damaged FBI profiler Graham instead of Clarice Starling (popularized by Jodie Foster in [I]Silence of the Lambs[/I]). Graham is the agent who captured Lecter when the psychiatrist was on his killing/eating spree. The first question is who will play Lecter — a part that one could argue is either a dream role, or a thankless gig considering the inevitable comparisons to Anthony Hopkins’ Oscar-winning take on the character. Another question: How much will NBC push the envelope with the original tale’s gory content?[/release]

Awesome, will be looking forward to his!

I don't think he would take it, he's more of a film star.
I'm boycotting NBC programming until they bring back Community.

Depends if he likes the films enough.
Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal
'nuff said

Jack Nicholson would be a dope Hannibal

Hannibal likes to party all the time, party all the time, party all the time...
John Lithgow for Hannibal Lecter would be pretty cool.
I honestly thought Red Dragon was better than Silence of the Lambs. SUCH a good cast, Ed Norton, Anthony Hopkins, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Harvey Keitel...fucking all star. Norton, Fiennes, and Hopkins really brought their characters to life.
