The star and creator of Hannibal are coming together for a movie that is very unlike Hannibal.
One of my favorite series of the past decade is Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal. The amazing TV show was adapted from the Thomas Harris books with Mads Mikkelsen playing serial killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Hugh Dancy playing FBI special investigator Will Graham. While most shows are easy to describe and fit neatly into a box like a procedural, sitcom, or drama, over the course of the three seasons it aired on NBC, Hannibal consistently defied expectations and did things I never thought you could do on network TV. By the time NBC started airing season three, I thought I …
The Silence of the Lambs is one of the most iconic horror films ever made. Jonathan Demme directed a sterling adaptation of Thomas Harris' crime novel, and Anthony Hopkins instantly became one of the silver screen's best boogeymen in his Oscar-winning portrayal of Hannibal Lecter. It's remarkable that anyone ever tried adapting the world of Hannibal again, let alone becoming as similarly iconic. Welp, Bryan Fuller sure as heck did it! His three-season TV series Hannibal gave us a new Dr. Lecter — Mads Mikkelsen, exceptional — to chew into. And, smartly, it didn't start with a …
Hannibal is a show that, even as I was watching it on the air, confused me as to how it could actually be on the air. The NBC horror-opera aired for three seasons under the tutelage of Bryan Fuller, who yielded some of the most violent, psychologically upsetting, and generally fucked imagery I've ever seen on television, network or not. And as Collider's very own Steve Weintraub recently learned in an in-depth, exclusive 90-minute interview with Fuller and star Hugh Dancy, this singular creative vision changed dramatically pretty early in its shape. Based on Thomas …
Imagine, if you will, Hugh Dancy’s Will Graham in all his compelling glory having his half-terrifying, half-sensual tête-à-tête with Hannibal Lecter in the NBC series Hannibal, except instead of the dashing Mads Mikkelsen on the other end of the table, you have John Cusack. In an alternate timeline, that’s the show that viewers got – and it’s a very different Hannibal for a number of reasons. Collider’s own Steve Weintraub recently spoke with Dancy and Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller for an extended, exclusive interview, and in discussing the inspired casting of Mikkelsen …
For three glorious seasons, Hannibal graced the airwaves of NBC. It’s still hard to believe a show this gory, this poetic, this weird aired on broadcast television, but by the grace of showrunner Bryan Fuller, it happened. Hannibal began as a fairly straightforward adaptation of the Thomas Harris books, with Mads Mikkelsen playing serial killer/foodie Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Hugh Dancy playing FBI special investigator Will Graham. An origin story of sorts, the first season saw Lecter and Graham working together to track serial killers, with Graham and the FBI unaware that Lecter was the perpetrator of some …
In case you were wondering: Hannibal holds up. For three glorious, bloody, revolting, and beautiful seasons, showrunner Bryan Fuller dazzled our eyes and turned our stomachs, drawing us, alongside poor Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) into the world of Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). Canceled by NBC but now streaming on Netflix (it was previously available only on Amazon Prime), one of broadcast television's wildest shows ever is now ready for new fans to discover and for established Fannibals to reappreciate. And when they reach the end of Season 3, they will undoubtedly share the same thought: "What the damn hell?" […
