15 May 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
A new Instagrammed image celebrating the upcoming end of year event that is the release of sci-fi action follow-up 'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire' has been spotted. The new poster features once more the glorious Jennifer Lawrence ('Silver Linings Playbook') donned up as Katniss Everdeen and giving her best 'legendary' pose perching aloft a mountain top. Even the cloud formations behind play a part in giving Katniss her overblown prodigious status. Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Sam Clafin, Elizabeth Banks ('Slither'), Woody Harrelson ('Seven Psychopaths'), Philip Seymour Hoffman ('Red Dragon'), Jena Malone ('The Ruins'), Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland ('Don't Look Now'), Toby Jones ('The Mist') and Lenny Kravitz all co-star.

Showrunner Bryan Fuller Talks Hannibal, the Show’s Inception, Gauging the Level of Violence, the Overall Series Plan, Using the Red Dragon Storyline, More

One of the best written and best acted dramas currently on network (or any) television is Hannibal, from show creator Bryan Fuller. Based on the characters from Thomas Harris’ classic novels, the series follows the unsettling relationship between psychiatrist-turned-serial-killer Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and gifted criminal profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). During this recent exclusive interview with Collider, executive producer/writer Bryan Fuller talked about how the series came about, how he gauges the level of violence on the show, how he ended up with Dancy, Mikkelsen and Laurence Fishburne as his lead actors, how fascinating the character relationships are, that knowing the eventual destination of these characters is a huge gift, when Hannibal Lecter’s famous face mask could appear, how the Red Dragon story would come into play in Season 4, adding some female characters to the mix, how they decide what meals Dr. Lecter will prepare and serve, »

Don't Forget: Star Trek isn't Star Wars

Commenting on the Critics with Simon Columb:
Most UK film sites have released articles this week discussing Lucasfilm's decision to film Star Wars: Episode VII in the UK. Russ Fischer over at /Film decided to focus on a different part of the story...
"The news that Star Wars: Episode VII will shoot in the UK isn’t a big deal, as the series has always had a production home in Britain. But in announcing plans to film the new Episode at one of the UK’s major studios (which one is not specified), LucasFilm president Kathleen Kennedy has issued a statement that some fans might find promising. Specifically, she says that the origins of Star Wars have been a big inspiration on the new film."
Read the full article here.
Fischer assumes that this “origin” focus can only be good news for Star Wars fans as it means that »

Sky's Hannibal might have been more interesting with a bit more psychology and a bit less blood and guts

There are two ways of looking at the kind of psychologically rich and physiologically brutal fiction written by Thomas Harris, author of The Silence of the Lambs. The first is that it's a sort of cultural safety valve, a secure and harmless realm in which to explore the dark thoughts that haunt our nightmares. The second is that it's gruesome porn for sickos.
The more sophisticated understanding is obviously the former, but there's some queasy part of me that can't quite shake off the suspicion that the latter contains a kernel of truth. Given the popularity and critical acclaim these books have enjoyed, I »

Hannibal Review: “Sorbet” (Season 1, Episode 7)
10 May 2013 11:29 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Okay, boys and girls, the day we’ve been waiting for (and dreading) is upon us: we’re starting to witness Hannibal Lecter in actual operation, and as one might expect, it’s truly chilling. Hannibal the series is officially a dream come true for Thomas Harris fans, and Mads Mikkelsen has officially staked his place as my favorite actor to portray the character.
Observing him from the outside and despite seeing evidence of his “work,” it’s hard to get one’s mind around his behavior (just ask Will). Hannibal is the picture (and indeed the fact) of refinement, exquisite taste, professional mastery, and, yes, likeability. As he tells his own psychiatrist (every good mental health professional maintains such a relationship), he has “friends, and the opportunity for friends.”
We get a chance to meet some of them this week, starting with friend Mrs. Komeda (Ellen Greene), who pinned »

Hannibal - Episode 6 Review

John Lucking reviews the sixth episode of Hannibal....
Hannibal’s balancing act between character and plot meant that after last week’s portrait of a married couple being torn apart we could expect Entrée to be a much more straightforward affair; luckily enough it seems Fuller and company can deliver on this front as well. Episode six marks the halfway point from of the season, and while it doesn’t quite lay its cards on the table it does drop the poker face and allow us insight into where it’s heading.
The episode begins with a Dr. Gideon lying face down on the floor of his padded cell in the Baltimore psychiatric hospital. After he’s declared unconscious he is then transported to the medical wing where he breaks free from restraints and murders his doctor. The most jarring aspect of this -other than a convicted felon being left »

Hannibal, Ep.1.06: “Entrée” raises goose bumps and a few questions about the future of the series

Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 4: “Entrée”
Directed by Michael Rymer
Written by Kai Yu Wu and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
The focus this week turns to the Chesapeake Ripper. Who exactly is the sociopath who continues to elude the F.B.I.? He hasn’t killed in over two years, and his last suspected victim, an agent-in-training named Miriam (played Anna Chlumsky), was never found. This is a fact that continues to haunt FBI special agent Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne), and this week we see Jack dig up memories of the rookie investigator, whom he’d taken a special interest in. Myriam was clearly talented and intelligent, a prime candidate to investigate the Chesapeake Ripper case and technically the only investigator who’s uncovered the truth so far. It isn’t a big mystery to anyone who’s read the book Red Dragon, much less anyone »

Bryan Fuller 'Hannibal' Q&A: 'Lecter is like Satan at work'
3 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »
Hannibal is coming to the UK - Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen plays the inimitable Dr Lecter in showrunner Bryan Fuller's (Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls) new televisual take on Thomas Harris's horror novels.
Digital Spy met with Fuller to discuss Hannibals of the past, casting his own Lecter and the cannibal killer's "bromance" with Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) - the man who will one day become his greatest nemesis...
Given how iconic Hannibal Lecter's movie outings were, what made you want to tackle the character again for television?
"I felt that there was an opportunity to tell a chapter of his story that hadn't been told before. We've see him incarcerated, we've seen him post-incarceration having escaped, and we saw him as a young man, but we haven't seen him as a practicing psychiatrist and a practicing cannibal.
"That's the most interesting part of his life and for some reason, »
Lara Jean Chorostecki teases her return on 'Hannibal': 'Freddie isn't just a foil'

Freddie Lounds may be a tabloid journalist more interested in a story than morals, but make no mistake: She is also a sociopath, playing on the same field as Hannibal’s widening bench of crazies. “I think it’s a really interesting character to see on TV: a female sociopath. We don’t often see that,” says Lara Jean Chorostecki, who plays the fiery-haired reporter.
Thus far on the series, we’ve seen Freddie actively interfere with the FBI’s hunt for killers. We’ve also seen her confront other characters with hard truths. That ambiguous balance — who and what concerns her, »

One of the strongest Us drama imports to hit these shores in a long while, Hannibal makes its UK debut courtesy of Sky Living early next week.
This televisual take on Thomas Harris's cannibal killer Dr Hannibal Lecter is from Pushing Daises creator Bryan Fuller and stars Casino Royale's Mads Mikkelsen as the title character.
Digital Spy spoke to Hugh Dancy - who plays Lecter's friend, confidante and future nemesis Will Graham - about what to expect from the new horror series, the spectre of Anthony Hopkins and the path to Red Dragon...
How did you feel when you were first approached for Hannibal? Were you aware of the Lecter movies?

Interview Louisa Mellor 1 May 2013 - 07:00
We chat to Bryan Fuller about Hannibal, emulsifying human eyeballs, Lucifer, and elegant vs. exploitation horror…
I have a confession to make. Not one that reflects well on me, but one that bears airing as proof that Hannibal’s Bryan Fuller is a gentleman, a scholar, and - why not - an acrobat.
In the window of Covent Garden’s The Hospital Club, the chic venue for our chat with Star Trek: Voyager, Dead Like Me, Wonderfalls, and Pushing Daisies writer Bryan Fuller, is a sculpture called Gold Digga. A pair of gilded deer antlers atop a glittery Mondrian painting, it’s a piece about the commodification of art, but to someone – me – fresh from watching episode one of Hannibal, it’s an apt coincidence. Stag antlers play an arresting role in the Hannibal opener, and this flashy, glitzy pair seems quite Fuller-y (remind »

‘Manhunter’ a disturbing examination of voyeurism
18 April 2013 8:08 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Michael Mann
Written by Michael Mann
1986, USA
Manhunter is adapted from the Thomas Harris novel Red Dragon, the book which introduced the world to the serial killer known as Hannibal Lecter. It came five years before Harris’s other novel was adapted to the screen ( The Silence of the Lambs), and 27 years before the NBC hit crime drama Hannibal. In between, the role of Dr. Hannibal has been reprised several more times, including Hannibal in 2001 and in a second adaptation of Red Dragon made in 2002 (under the original title). And in late 2006, the novel Hannibal Rising was adapted into the film of the same name, which explained Lecter’s development into a serial killer. Of all these adaptations, Manhunter has become the cult favourite.
This intelligent psychological portrayal of a serial killer and the FBI investigator is both complex and ingenious. The main focus here is entirely »

Hannibal - Episode 2 Review
15 April 2013 10:09 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the second episode of Hannibal...
The problem of the recap at the beginning of any episode of a serialised drama comes in its blatant sign-posting-if-not-spoilers for the episode to come. If television is a constant battle between art and commerce then the recap is a fight the artists’ never showed up for. Key moments the show trusted its viewers to pick up on and carry forward are repeated with childlike simplicity and subtext is laid bare via voiceover and out-of-context imagery. Oh, and remember that character who you thought died/disappeared? I wonder why they’re being brought up in the recap... perhaps they’ll feature in this episode! They can, however, be illuminating at this early stage in a show’s life — signposts of what the the people behind it consider to be the focus of the series thus far.

Interview: Bryan Fuller Finds the Humor of Eating Innards For ‘Hannibal’
12 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
For a television show, NBC’s Hannibal goes to some fairly dark and bloody places. Sticking to the nature of Thomas Harris’s “Red Dragon,” television honcho Bryan Fuller has made a series faithful to the mood of the writing. Will Graham is no longer the smooth and reliable Edward Norton we saw in Brett Ratner’s movie, but rather a damaged man whose own genius eats away at him. Giving Harris’s fans that version of Graham was important to Fuller, as well as turning Hannibal into a “psychological and kinky” program, not another procedural with Hannibal thrown in. While many would wager some of the suspense behind Will Graham and Hannibal’s relationship is weakened by the fact we know the psychiatrist likes him some Ray Liotta brain, Fuller cautioned that isn’t the case. This isn’t the Hannibal we know from movies and pop culture. Here’s what else the man behind Pushing Daisies »

Hannibal, Ep.1.02: “Amuse-bouche,” one of the most effective thrillers on TV

Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 2: “Amuse Bouche”
Directed by Michael Rhymer
Written by Jim Danger Gray
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
In framing Hannibal as a weekly procedural, showrunner Bryan Fuller populates his world with so many serial killers, it becomes hard to believe that so many of these insane, yet brilliant men can all reside in the same city at the same time. Only two episodes in, and we’ve already been introduced to three killers, with the possibility of a fourth. Yet, while the second episode of Hannibal does introduce a new ‘killer of the week’ formula, the series remains elevated by four things: direction, cinematography, dialogue and acting. Hannibal features two great leads (Mads Mikkelson and Hugh Dancy), a talented writing team; is incredibly stylish, and features some of the best cutting on television – and by that I mean sharp editing – as well as great lighting, »

Hannibal - Episode 1 Review
10 April 2013 11:07 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the first episode of Hannibal....
The Brett Ratner directed Red Dragon opens with Edward Norton’s profiler Will Graham realising that the man he’s been working with to bring down serial killers, Hannibal Lecter, is in fact himself a murderous cannibal. A struggle ensues and Lecter is captured, with Will Graham retiring and moving to Florida to be with his family. It’s an interesting opening since it’s clearly the climax of another story; a cop and a cannibal hunting down killers is fertile ground for the world of television, and so it’s this period of Thomas Harris’s saga that Hannibal aims to explore.
Hannibal begins with our new Will Graham reliving the murder of a family courtesy of his unique ability to empathise with and inhabit the minds of the people he’s hunting. It’s an atmospheric and eerie opening, with »

Review: Hannibal Is Fantastic and You Should Watch it
10 April 2013 3:20 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
NBC’s "Hannibal" debuted last Thursday to mediocre ratings. The network has enough faith in it that they’re re-running it tonight at 10 Pm (9 Pm Central). And you really should watch it. It’s absolutely fantastic.
If you told me last week that I’d be singing its enthusiastic praises after one episode, I would’ve mocked you and sent you on your way. After all, does the world really need more Hannibal Lecter?
Turns out, yes.
It’s easy to forget how great the nefarious psychiatrist/cannibal/serial killer can be. Overzealous producers did a fine job of diluting his iconic presence throughout the aughts, first with a serviceable-yet-forgettable 2001 sequel, followed by a lame and toothless retelling of Red Dragon, and finally with a terminally forgettable origin story, Hannibal Rising, that was so uninspired that it looked to have murdered the franchise dead in its tracks.

'Hannibal' Producers Talk About the Cannibal's Legacy
10 April 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Guess who is up to his old, wicked, cannibalistic ways? Dr. Hannibal Lecter, that’s who. The renowned psychiatrist and connoisseur of flesh is back in Hannibal, a TV series that serves as an introduction to the character before he is exposed as a cold-blooded killer. Casino Royale’s Mads Mikkelsen stars as the charmingly lethal Lecter while King Arthur’s Hugh Dancy plays Will Graham, a troubled FBI profiler who has a working relationship with him. Executive producers Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies, Wonderfalls), Martha De Laurentiis (Hannibal, Red Dragon) and David Slade (Hard Candy), who also directed the pilot, were on hand at a recent Toronto press screening to discuss the Hannibal legacy and getting the project off the ground.
There seems to be a trend in the movie business of tackling material that has a built-in audience. Was that something that was taken into consideration when creating Hannibal? »
