Review: Fox's 'The Goodwin Games' has potential it won't get to realize
20 May 2013 4:02 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
I hear it a lot: I don't want to waste time watching a new show that might be canceled; if it's a success, I'll try it. On the one hand, I get it: I've been frustrated (and, in some cases, sad) when a show I invested my time and energy into got canceled in the early stages, and in some cases might have preferred not to have seen it. On the other, I'm grateful for even the one season I got of "Freaks and Geeks" and "Terriers," and I know plenty of Bryan Fuller fans who revere "Wonderfalls" even though Fox »

Hannibal: a bloody steak with the man who brought Lecter to the small screen
3 May 2013 10:00 PM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »
Thomas Harris's cannibal killer returns in a contemporary TV prequel. "He's uncategorisable," says showrunner Bryan Fuller
"There's an interview where he talks about meat and how the flavour is limited; blood is what actually makes it tasty. Once you chew the blood away, it's just tissue, it doesn't keep giving."
As soon as showrunner Bryan Fuller found out he was going to be bringing Hannibal Lecter to TV, he knew exactly who he wanted to talk to. Not author Thomas Harris or Anthony Hopkins, but José Andrés, a Spanish chef who trained with El Bulli's Ferran Adrià and popularised a similar strand of show-stopping molecular gastronomy on Us TV cooking shows. They met at a party, Fuller explained what he was working on, and Andrés immediately decided to jump on board.
"I asked him what can you eat on a human being," says Fuller, "and he said, 'Everything is edible. »

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, »
Bryan Fuller interview: Hannibal, elegant horror, Gillian Anderson, & more…

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 »

Hannibal Episode Recap: “Potage”
18 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
I can't remember the last time I've so emphatically recommended a network drama. Hannibal, a mere three episodes in, is already heads and shoulders above, say, The Following, not just because of its writing and acting, but its style. Few people can put a visual stamp on things like Bryan Fuller, and while Hannibal and Will inhabit their own distinct spaces and looks, it's the loathsome Freddie Lounds who really embodies that slightly cartoony / candy-colored world that Fuller built in Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies. In Hannibal it's more muted, but the time-lapsed establishing shots and vivid staging (the chat in the hospital's greenhouse, or in the bright fall leaves behind the Hobbs' house) still keep things from looking like a rote procedural. So does the advent of Abigail Hobbs. Hit the jump for why you should never threaten someone who thinks about murder all day (like kittens). I was reluctant »

Hannibal 1×02 – “Amuse-Bouche” Review
11 April 2013 8:01 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Caroline Dhavernas, Laurence Fishburne | Created by Bryan Fuller
Amuse-Bouche: def: \a-’myuz bush\ [Fr. amuse the mouth] 1: a small bite before the meal begins. 2: greeting of the Chef de cuisine
The most important thing that ‘Amuse-Bouche’ does is to show exactly how Will Graham is affected by the shooting of the Minnesota Shrike himself, Garret Jacob Hobbes. They show him crushed by this decision, at a standstill with himself, just outright questioning himself. It’s a great moral quandary for the character because this idea is rarely raised on any shows. Death doesn’t have a weight to it. It just happens. But, here on “Hannibal,” it’s damned devastating as it should be. People are screwed up by it, the serial killers don’t just murder people and enjoy it, they’re just as wracked with the weight of what they do and both sides of »

'Hannibal' Season 1 spoilers: 10 things to expect in the next four episodes
11 April 2013 5:58 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Now that TV fans have a chance to invite Hannibal Lecter into their homes every week, we thought you might appreciate a little head's up on what to expect from the not-so-good Dr. Lecter.
NBC's "Hannibal" got off to a so-so start in last week's ratings, but critics have been kind and Zap2it readers were overwhelmingly supportive in our series premiere poll. There are already signs a cult following may be building around this unique take on an iconic character from film and literature, as redefined for television by idiosyncratic showrunner Bryan Fuller ("Pushing Daisies," "Wonderfalls").
The next few episodes will be critical to deciding the series' fate (Will the audience shrink or grow? And will NBC order a second season?). So, to whet your appetite, we've prepared a few tasty teasers from the four additional episodes NBC made available to the press.

'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? »

TV Recap: “Hannibal” S01 E01 “Aperitif”
5 April 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Considering the debacle that was Mockingbird Lane, I was fairly concerned with Bryan Fuller adapting Thomas Harris’ novels and bringing Dr. Hannibal Lecter to the small screen. But, lest I forget, Bryan Fuller’s also responsible for the brilliant Pushing Daisies and Wonderfalls. Any concerns I had were alleviated three minutes into “Aperitif,” the pilot for NBC’s Hannibal, and so should yours. Directed by David Slade (Awake, 30 Days Of Night, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), Hannibal has some serious, stylized violence, but it works.
We open on Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, more on him later) at a bloody crime scene (there’s a lot of blood for an NBC show), where he sees the crime scene in reverse, as it happens, placing himself as a killer. It’s a little Dexter Morgan at a crime scene-y, except actually having Will Graham go through with the dirty deeds. The trippy sequence »

Did NBC's Hannibal Whet Your Appetite?
4 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Is Hannibal to your taste?
NBC’s Silence of the Lambs prequel made its bloody debut Thursday at 10/9c. Just like in the Thomas Harris novels, the titular character is a genius psychologist who also happens to be a cannibalistic serial killer – except no one knows that yet.
Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) plays Hannibal as an aesthete, an educated man who takes great pride in his colorful attire, office furnishings and, uh, refined palate. He’s brought into the action when the FBI recruits the services of Will Graham (Hugh Dancy, The Big C), a brilliant, odd FBI profiler who »

NBC's Hannibal: Not Just Another Serial Killer Show
4 April 2013 11:51 AM, PDT | TVGuide.com - Features | See recent TVGuide - Features news »
In a year that's already given us Fox's The Following and A&E's Bates Motel, some might argue that we don't need another serial killer TV show. And they'd probably be right.
But NBC's Hannibal isn't just another serial killer show.
Spring Preview: Gets scoop on all the must-see new shows
Taking characters from the Thomas Harris novels that inspired a film series that includes Manhunter, The Silence of the Lambs and Red Dragon, executive producer Bryan Fuller (Wonderfalls, Pushing Daisies) has created a sophisticated drama that doesn't glorify the violence of mass murder but rather examines the toll that hunting serial killers takes on the minds and souls of those who hunt. In fact, even though the show is named after Dr. Hannibal Lecter, who was immortalized as one of the greatest pop culture villains of all time thanks to Anthony Hopkins' Oscar-winning portrayal, the series — at least »

TV Review: NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ is Smart, Creepy, Adult Thriller
4 April 2013 8:14 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – NBC’s “Hannibal” is the best new network drama of the 2012-13 season. It’s a smart, creepy, atmospheric piece of work that perfectly gets the Thomas Harris universe that gave us one of the most memorable villains of all time. Bryan Fuller (“Pushing Daisies”) has proven yet again that he knows how to make engrossing, brilliant television. My only concern is that struggling NBC may not be the best home for it. Don’t make me beg you to watch it. Network TV needs more programming this impressive.
Television Rating: 4.5/5.0
Fans of Harris’s “Red Dragon” (also made into a film as “Manhunter” by Michael Mann), will recognize the complex dynamic between Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen). This is where it began. I hate to use that dreaded word, “prequel,” since it doesn’t really capture what’s going on here. Sure, Fuller and »

Seitz: Though We’ve Seen This Story Before, Hannibal Is the Most Beautiful Series on Network TV
4 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
If NBC’s Hannibal were a Broadway musical, it’d be the kind that leaves you humming the scenery. The sorta origin story about effete serial killer Hannibal Lecter and FBI profiler Will Graham is loosely based on Thomas Harris’s fiction. Like the Psycho prequel Bates Motel, however, it’s set in a present-day world of DNA testing, cell phones, and blogs. And it takes its stylistic cues not from Silence of the Lambs, or even its forerunner, Manhunter, but from Se7en and The Cell, serial-killer pictures whose pleasures (if I can use that word!) were mainly visual.Hannibal is the most beautiful series on network TV, alarmingly so. The people who made this series (including creator Bryan Fuller of Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and Wonderfalls) are fascinated by dream and nightmare imagery and visualize it with more panache than you typically see on a broadcast network drama. »

Review: Mads Mikkelsen mesmerizes in 'Hannibal'
4 April 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
To answer your question: No. Television does not need another serial-killer drama. But who can resist Hannibal Lecter? Especially when the horror-pop icon has been reinvented in a cable-style drama so finely acted, visually scrumptious, and deliciously subversive. Set during the cannibal shrink’s pre-incarceration days, Hannibal distinguishes itself from The Following, Bates Motel, and American Horror Story by its distinctive storytelling voice, Bryan Fuller. The creator of Wonderfalls and Pushing Daisies again tells the tale of an alienated individual with an extraordinary talent that feels like an affliction. He also tells a tale that really isn’t about Hannibal Lecter. »

Bryan Fuller: Hannibal Delivers a 'Heightened Quality of Serial Killer,' With 'Operatic' Deaths
4 April 2013 4:45 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Are you feeling hungry?
This Thursday at 10/9c, NBC debuts Hannibal, executive producer Bryan Fuller‘s dark, introspective take on the budding partnership between the infamous cannibal (played by Mads Mikkelsen) and FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy).
And it all began with one sentence. “There’s a line in [the novel] Red Dragon where Hannibal says to Will Graham — paraphrasing here – ‘You caught me essentially because you’re crazy, too,’” Fuller recounted in a recent conference call. “And I just thought, ‘Oh, there is a great untold bromance that I would love to see, as an audience member.’”

Exclusive Interview: We Talk 'Hannibal' and Cannibals with Series Creator Bryan Fuller
3 April 2013 | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
One of the most fascinating characters in literature and cinema is Hannibal Lecter, the refined cannibal psychiatrist. Bryan Fuller, creator of such darkly visionary shows like Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, and Mockingbird Lane returns with his darkest vision yet: Hannibal. The series follows Hannibal as envisioned in Thomas Harris’s Red Dragon: before anyone knew Hannibal was a killer. We chatted with Bryan about the nature of darkness, the psychological toll the subject matter takes, cannibalism, and dogs. Don’t worry; no dogs were harmed in the making of the show or this interview.
Hannibal is a very intense show, and probably the darkest show you’ve ever done. What brought this darkness out?
It all started with a trip to New York I was on the plane with a friend of mine, Katie O’Connell, who had just come on with Gaumont Television in the Us. We »

‘Pushing Daisies’ Creator Estimates $10-15 Million Price for Kickstarter Movie
27 March 2013 12:24 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Ever since Rob Thomas and Kristen Bell made waves a couple of weeks ago with their highly successful Kickstarter page in aid of a Veronica Mars movie, speculation has been rife as to which cancelled TV shows might see a similar treatment in the future.
Joss Whedon has stated that he’s simply got too much on his plate to consider a Serenity sequel, but Bryan Fuller – who created such now-cancelled TV shows as Dead Like Me and Wonderfalls – has expressed a desire to follow in Thomas and Bell’s footsteps with a film continuation of his series, Pushing Daisies.
Fuller hasn’t yet created a Kickstarter page for the Pushing Daisies movie, but he is starting to think about what the target goal for such a fundraising project might be. In an interview ...

'Pushing Daisies' to be brought back to life in a Kickstarter? Bryan Fuller wants a movie
27 March 2013 11:26 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
With a "Veronica Mars" movie on its way thanks to a Kickstarter campaign, many are wondering if other unfortunately canceled shows will have renewed life thanks to the fundraising tool. One in particular that fans are hopeful about is Bryan Fuller's "Pushing Daisies."
In an interview with Film School Rejects, Fuller reveals that he'd need a pretty hefty budget in order to bring "Pushing Daisies" to the big screen -- definitely more than the "Veronica Mars" movie needed. That being said, Fuller admits that he "would love to revisit both 'Wonderfalls' and 'Pushing Daisies,' because they were very positive creative experiences for me." As he told The Hollywood Reporter recently, his first reaction to hearing the "Veronica Mars" movie news was to ask his agent if he could do something similar.
"I had actually started writing a 'Pushing Daisies' film, and I had the first act of it. »
