TV: Meet The Agent Hunting Down ‘Hannibal’
British actor Hugh Dancy (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Black Hawk Down) is set as one of the two leads in “Hannibal,” NBC’s 13-episode series from Gaumont International Television, written and executive produced by Bryan Fuller and executive produced by Martha DeLaurentiis, reports Deadline.
The project is described as a contemporary thriller series featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel “Red Dragon” – FBI agent Will Graham (Dancy) and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter – who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship.
The role of Will Graham was played by Ed Norton in the 2002 movie adaptation, in which Anthony Hopkins reprised his Oscar-winning role as twisted series killer Hannibal Lecter.
Dancy, an Emmy nominee for HBO’s “Elizabeth I,” recently recurred on the Showtime comedy series “The Big C.”
From The Lure director Agnieszka Smoczyńska, the dystopian sci-fi thriller Hot Spot starring Noomi Rapace will be released in North American theaters on August 21, 2026 via Focus Features, and the film has received its official ‘R’ rating from the MPA this week.
Just how far is the film going to be pushing that rating? Hot Spot is rated ‘R’ for “strong violent content, gore, graphic nudity, sexual content and brief language.”
Watch the previously released official trailer below. Here’s the synopsis…
“In a near future society ruled by sentient AI, a private eye investigates a murder case, only to discover a rebel group capable of undermining the digital overlord.”
Andrzej Konopka (The Lure) and Reika Kirishima (Drive My Car) also star.
Robert Bolesto (The Lure) wrote the screenplay.
