Exploring early days of Lecter
If Hannibal Rising did not sate your appetite to see the early days of Hannibal Lecter, then a television series might be the answer for you.
French production outfit Gaumont is launching a Los Angeles branch and it is working with Pushing Daisies‘ Bryan Fuller to create Hannibal, a one-hour television series exploring Lecter’s early days, namely his time going head-to-head with FBI agent Will Graham.
The back story between the two characters was lightly explored in Thomas Harris’ novel “Red Dragon” and the films Manhunter and Red Dragon.
Martha De Laurentiis – of Hannibal Rising and Red Dragon – will produce the show. Casting is going to be pivotal for this one…
Fuller is also developing a reboot of The Munsters television series.
