New ‘Hannibal’ Spot “Bride Of Hannibal” Focuses On Gillian Anderson
“No marriage is perfect…”
A newly released TV spot for NBC’s Hannibal focuses on Gillian Anderson and her character Bedelia Du Maurier. The clip shows that she is posing as Hannibal’s wife as the two move through upperclass society, wining and dining their prey.
What’s interesting about this clip is that there is still a palpable fear on the face of Du Maurier as she interacts with Hannibal. While the story so far makes it seem that she’s fully on his side, I suspect that there is a great deal more to this plot line than we expect.
Hannibal returns on Thursday, June 4th.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
