[TV] First Look At Michael Pitt As Mason Verger in “Hannibal”!

Published

I am ashamed to not be caught up on “Hannibal.” I haven’t watched any of this season yet, but after hearing how it’s even better than last year I promise to buy it on iTunes and check it out ASAP. In the meantime, while you wait for Friday’s episode 2.09 “Shiizakana”, we’ve got a little treat for you.

If you saw Ridley Scott’s 2000 film Hannibal, or if you’ve read the book by Thomas Harris, you’re familiar with the batsh*t crazy character of Mason Verger. Director David Slade has circulated a picture of Michael Pitt (Funny Games, The Dreamers) as the character. Granted, this is before that unfortunate business with the pigs, but it’s still nice to see how his visage looks before it’s been digested.

The character is being described as “Joker-esque”, which means absolutely nothing to me. Best to just wait and see.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
