NBC’s “Hannibal” is a show that I’m definitely digging. Tonight’s episode, “Coquilles”, hasn’t aired in my time zone yet but I’m definitely digging the trajectory its on. Interestingly enough, it seems like Eddie Izzard is basically playing Anthony Hopkins’ version of the Hannibal character in next week’s episode 1.05 “Entree”, right on down to the mannerisms (not to mention the glass cell.

In the episode, “Jack (Laurence Fishburne) & Alana (Caroline Dhavernas) are contacted by a former colleague, Dr. Chilton, (Raul Esparza ) who believes he has The Chesapeake Ripper in custody, but then one of his patients commits a murder that matches The Ripper’s profile. The team determines the Ripper was a surgeon and is still at large when Jack’s former protégé Miriam (Anna Chlumsky) becomes the next victim. Jack copes with her loss and the prospect of losing his wife by opening-up to Hannibal (Mads Mikkelsen).”

“The series focuses on the fledgling relationship between FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen), his mentor.” Other key cast members include Lance Henriksen (Near Dark, roughly 8% of horror movies in general), Gillian Anderson (“X-Files”), Gina Torres (“Firefly”), “Wonderfalls”’ Caroline Dhavernas and Ellen Muth (Dead Like Me).

NBC’s “Hannibal” just aired episode 1.02, “Amuse-Bouche,” and they’re now offering up the teaser for episode 1.03, “Potage.”

Abigail is escorted back to Minnesota, where she discovers much violent hostility against her and her family. Things go from bad to worse when a copycat killer murders a friend of Abigail. Hannibal suggests they hide the body to protect Abigail – but secrets come at a cost.”

NBC’s “Hannibal” has released a new featurette that talks about its’ approach to elegant horror as well as a new still that nicely echoes the security guard “flayed out” pose from Silence Of The Lambs. At least one of them is worth your time.

First “The Following” and now NBC’s “Hannibal”. Although the Hannibal Lecter centric show has the potential to be entertaining, it’s sort of weird to see this much gore in a network show. I’m not against it by any means – I just hope they know that there are several other qualities that set the AMC and HBO slate ahead of them creatively. Anyway, this still looks like it could be pretty good.

We’ve got some new key art for NBC’s “Hannibal” that looks sort of cool. Visually, I’d definitely say the marketing is looking to play up the campier elements of Lecter’s personality. Hey, gotta get to those people who only remember the “fava beans and a nice chianti” line from Silence Of The Lambs! We haven’t seen any of the actual show yet so the jury’s still out on that.

[Random Cool] Pixar Illustrator Re-imagines R-rated Movie Scenes As a Children’s Picture Book!

My credit card it about to get hit with a major dent thanks to Pixar illustrator Josh Cooley.

The mad genius has created a collection of R-rated movie scenes drawn in the style of children’s picture book. So what you have below is a gallery of scenes from the likes of Alien, The Shining, Silence of the Lambs, Seven and even Rosemary’s Baby. My personal favorite is Rosemary’s Baby as he gives Mia Farrow those “Disney eyes”.

“What have you done to it?” asked Rosemary.

TV: “Clarice” Will Face Off Against “Hannibal” (Just Not On The Same Show)

Movies
Posted by EvanDickson on May 25, 2012 @ 6:35pm
Category: Movies / News

MGM and the Lifetime Network are developing “Clarice”, a show that will follow the character of Clarice Starling as featured in Thomas Harris’ novels ‘The Silence Of The Lambs” and “Hannibal”. I’d expect this show to debut at midseason at the very earlier, if not (more realistically) Fall of 2013. No word on casting but of course Jodie Foster and Julianne Moore are pretty much guaranteed not to star.

Per TV Guide, “Clarice would follow the exploits of a young Clarice Starling soon after she graduates from the FBI academy. The show’s development comes as NBC preps the 13-episode series Hannibal, which also takes place in the world of author Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter series of books. But Hannibal, from Bryan Fuller, won’t include the Clarice character, and instead focuses on the relationship between Hannibal and FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (played by Hugh Dancy).”

This has almost nothing to do with Hannibal (except for taking place in the same universe) in which “One of the most fascinating literary characters comes to life on television for the first time: psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer, Dr. Hannibal Lecter. In this new drama from Bryan Fuller (“Pushing Daisies,” “Heroes”), based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, we see where this incredible story began. Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, “The Big C”) is a gifted criminal profiler who is on the hunt for a serial killer with the FBI. Graham’s unique way of thinking gives him the astonishing ability to empathize with anyone – even psychopaths.”

Thanks to BD Reader “James” for the heads up!

FBI agent Jack Crawford believes that Lecter who is also a very powerful and clever mind manipulator have the answers to their questions to help locate the killer.
