David Weaver from Home And Theater writes: Released 10 years ago today...I cannot think of any other film in recent history that has had so much hype or momentum working in its favor leading up to its release that just didn't deliver on any of it. It was the sequel to the 1991 Best Picture Silence of the Lambs which also gave birth to one of films greatest horror icons, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins). It was based off the hit book of the same name that had just come out two years prior and the screenplay was worked on by one of the greatest writers out there, David Mamet. Anthony Hopkins returned to the role that made him a household name outside the drama circle and helming the film was one of today's greatest visionary directors, Ridley Scott. I remember the time leading up to the release of the film that the anticipation was at a fever pitch and no one even contemplated whether or not it was going to be any good which in hindsight seems very silly to me now.
On this episode, we discuss the incredible Flash finale, lackluster Arrow finale, Hannibal’s imminent arrival, and more!
TVOM: "Since April 4, 2013, Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal has been an absolute dream for millions of people around the world. What started off as an ill-advised adaptation of one of the most famous characters in literature and film has blossomed into what is perhaps the most well-crafted television series in history. An elegant horror masterpiece, Hannibal keeps fans on pins and needles in anticipation of the next episode every single week."
IGN: NBC has released a lengthy behind-the-meal look at Hannibal's upcoming third season, featuring inverviews with stars Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, Gillian Anderson, Laurence Fishburne, and Caroline Dhavernas.
