NBC Is So F**king Done With “Hannibal”

“Hannibal” is about to endure a long, slow, painful death…

While NBC “gifted” us super fans with a third season of “Hannibal,” they’ve quickly turned on it as if it were the black sheep (stag?) of the family.

Back on June 22nd NBC cancelled “Hannibal,” leaving the fate of the series to online streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. They both passed.

NBC then released stars Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen from their contracts, only further complicating an attempt at a revival.

Now, on heels of Comic-Con news that a feature could be cooked up, NBC is swatting the series away like an annoying gnat.

The network today kneecapped its Thursday duo of recently cancelled “Hannibal” and the just-renewed “Aquarius” and put them on Saturday night owing to poor ratings, says Deadline.

While ratings for “Hannibal” were never going to return, announcing its cancellation early in the season didn’t help those casually viewing from sticking around.

“Hannibal” is a masterpiece of television, and it doesn’t deserve to go out like this.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere can be seen trapped inside.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
