NBC’s Hannibal Reboot Casts A Lead (But Not For Hannibal, So…)

23 March 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Because a successful franchise simply can’t be milked enough, NBC is in the process of adapting Thomas Harris’ successful Hannibal Lecter series, focusing on Red Dragon, the first book. There have only been a paltry two films based on the book, so it’s about time the small screen took a stab at the property. Recently it has been announced that Hugh Dancy (Basic Instinct 2, The Sleeping Dictionary) will assume the role of Will Graham, the character played by William Petersen and Edward Norton in Manhunter and Red Dragon, respectively.

Of course, in any Hannibal Lecter story, no one really gives a hoot about the righteous cop on the case. All eyes will be on the casting of the doctor himself, which probably more or less makes or breaks this show. As casting directors sit through hour after hour of Anthony Hopkins impressions and actors doing that noise »
