They will never come close to Silence of the Lambs so why bother.

I would rather go see another Hannibal than the Seed of Chucky. Hollywood seems to have a lot of money to throw around and people would go see a fourth installment. However, you are right it will not be nearly as good as Silence of the Lambs.

The sad thing is, this movie is going to make millions whether it's good or not. It's just a given. That being said, if you could put zero effort into a shitty movie and still make a killing, how many of you would turn it down??? :wink:

If they make another one - they better hurry - Hopkins isn't getting any younger. . .
Other than the money angle - should they make another Hannibal movie - NO.

Just to let you know. Its a prequel and will involve a younger Hannibal. He will still be in the movie, but it might just be him flashing back or something.

Red Dragon was a prequel - they still used Hopkins. It depends on how far back this story is set as to whether or not Hopkins will be the lead.
Yes we don't need another but this will be a Prequel Prequel because it's a prequel to Red dragon which is the prequel to Silence of the Lambs and a remake, this new one will be before before both.(child hood)

It might be good, Harris who wrote the books is doing the screenplay and he's a good writer. besides aren't you guys curious about Hannibals past? Momerath, I wondered what happened to you.

I am not quite if they should make this movie. Anthony Hopkins is a great actor but they should let the Hannibal lecter movies for what they are now

I would deffinately turn down ruining a good movie for money. I guess I'm not sleasy enough to work in hollywood. But that is my dream. To become a writer/director.

I just happened to stumble upon the IMDB page for this prequel that tells about Hannibal Lecter's childhood and early youth, and how he became a killer (it will be released a couple of months after the book by Thomas Harris)..
Doesn't it feel like they're just stretching it a bit too much? But, on the other hand, I'm sure fans of Lecter will be curious about the story. Still, it was Anthony Hopkins that made him so brilliant, I bet it won't be the same watching a young actor playing the part.
All in all I'm a bit suspicious about this, what do you think?
Krossroads
10-23-2006, 06:39 PM
I'm certainly interested and it is good to know that the script is based on the novel by the original author, so this isn't some random guy writing this. Still, like you said, Hopkins is really the reason for why that character is so unforgettable. And though I love Silence of the Lambs, I wasn't that impressed with Hannibal and Red Dragon. Good films, but just nothing special.
I'll probably just wait for this one on DVD unless it gets amazing reviews.

Mabye they wild find someone that is just as unforgetable as Hopkins, but i doubt it. I still think learning about his childhood and all that would be kind of interesting. So im gonna agree with Krossroads on this one, wait till DVD unless I hear good things about it.

I feel that right after Scilence of the Lambs Hanibal Lector has just seemed to lsot his touch. In all the movies he has been in, nothing even comes close to Scilence of the Lambs.
Hanibal , Red Dragon They were both thumbs down with me...

Actually I enjoyed all three movies that featured Anthony Hopkins... Although I liked Hannibal much better than Red Dragon, because Hannibal is pretty surreal, violent and scary, and Red Dragon is a much more regular police thriller. Still they're both good movies with great cast... I think I like Hannibal just as much as Silence of the Lambs (shocking I know :D).

Its a tough job to make sequels to something as great as Silence of the Lambs. I thought Hannibal was very good. David Mamet wrote a great script and Ridley Scott did a fine job i thought. Red Dragon, while very different, I thought was a good thriller mainly thanks to Ed Norton. I dunno about this though...i think its gonna rely on a lot of cheap tricks to scare that previous lector movies didn't.

It just occured to me that there's an old movie by Michael Mann based on the same story of "Red Dragon" (I think it's called "Manhunter"), and it features Brian Cox playing Hannibal, not Anthony Hopkins. And Brian Cox is pretty good (and so is the movie), even though he wasn't made into the center piece of the movie (he doesn't have many scenes).
Maybe the guy playing Hannibal in "Hannibal Rising" won't exactly be better than Hopkins, but he might be good too, like Brian Cox was.

From what Iv'e seen of the clips, and heard from someone who attended a special screening of HANNIBAL RISING, it's the dog's nick nacks, .
The clips I watched looked awesome, and the lad playing the part of a young Hannibal looks creepy as f**k..
The bloke who attended the screening said it was a cracking movie, and very gory!

I don't know about this movie. I prefered Lecter as a nut job per se, not a guy seeking vengeance after a childhood trauma - at least thats what I get from the trailer. That is so... Batman Begins.

Meaning Thomas Harris. Lambs was a cut above. The only thing that made Red Dragon good was Ed Norton...Hannibal was just awful. This isn't an incredible franchise, I have no reason to think this one will be any good. The trailer looked bad.

I was trying to make a joke (hence the wink). I completly agree with you Silence of the Lambs is great, Red Dragon was only good due to Norton, and Hannibal was terrible. The trailer for this movie looks god awful, and there is no doubt in my mind Hannibal Rising will be a crappy movie.

One Man's meat is another Man's poison.. That's something I have definately learned since coming in here.. and at times It does become annoying when you think a movie is great and other's slag it off, to which iam guilty as the next man for that..
But Hannibal being awful, that I cant tolerate Clive LOL..
Ridley Scott did a cracking job, the direction, the visual sequences were stunning..
J.moore doing a great job in filling Foster's role.
Hopkin's perfect as the Cannibalistic killer, with his famous quote "Well what's it to be, Bowels in or out"
And not forgeting the great Gary Oldman, complete with unrecognisible make-up.
I dont know what film you were watching.. this was a great follow up!

In Silence of the Lambs, Lectur seemed like an intelligent man with a twisted mind. In Hannibal they took away his intelligence and made him a mindless killer. I have to disagree with you, and stick by my opinion... Hannibal was a terrible movie.

I completely agree. Most people fail to see how the grotesque and bizarre approach that Riddley Scott chose for that movie, was the only one that truly lived up to the grotesque and bizarre character that Hannibal Lecter is. It's the only movie that he spends the whole time outside jail, so there's a lot more room to develop the full extent of his evil personality. Gary Oldman's character is brilliant, and I love that they spend an entire sequence in Florence, it's so much more "classy" and it's a perfect setting for Hannibal.
I'm not saying it was better than Silence of the Lambs, but it was completely diferent, almost not a police thriller but a horror movie, and I loved that approach. It's certainly my favorite of the three.

I completely agree with that. There's nothing I hate more than a movie that's just gore for gore's sake. Anyone can do that. I need compelling characters or an engaging story in my horror/thrillers, or at the very least something original.

I saw it today, it was OK and Gaspard Ulliel (or whatever the hell he's called) was incredibly creepy, but I must say it needed a lot more deaths and gore and more development on his cannibalism. And I'm not saying this because I like gore in itself, but only because I feel that they tried too hard to create a psychological background to Hannibal Lecter, and to give a reason for his behaviour, and along the way, they failed to live up to the more horrible aspects of his personality, that we've grown accustomed to.
So basically, the movie doesn't fit in well with the other movies of the series. It's more of an action/drama about someone getting a revenge. Like The Crow or something. He kills a bunch of really bad guys, so he's more of a twisted hero than a killer himself. And when the detective called him a monster, I wasn't one bit convinced. A monster is someone who kills purely for pleasure, or for no reason at all, while this Hannibal just kills for revenge.

See, this is what pisses me off, and the worst part is the guy who created the character is the one who's at fault. The thing about Lector was that he was always shrouded in mystery. The less you know about him, the more effective and frightening he is, but with them trying to explain his whole life (especially with the lame plot they have here) is just degrading to an iconic character. Thomas Harris doesn't know when he has a good thing going.

I Think They Sould Have Stop With Reddragon And Just Left Hannibal Rising A Book They Didn't Even Show Why He Started Killing Good PEOPLE They Just Showed Him Kill Bad People IF THEY REAL MAKE A GOOD HANNIBAL SHOW WHAT HAPPEDING TO HIM AFTER THE MOVIE HANNIBAL AND BRING BACK Anthony Hopkins
