Dr. Lecter Invites you to Dinner. The ''Hannibal'' Thread

[Sawyer]

It doesn't sound like something that would attract much attention to me... American Psycho has much more of a cult following than Psycho or the Lecter series. And Rules of Attraction is probably even more cult than that.

I'm sure there would be some interest in it. But yea, most people don't even know the two films are related let alone that Sean and Patrick are brothers. I don't care though, I think that'd be amazing. Hell let's go ahead and get us a Tyler Durder: The Early Years series while we're at it. You know all the 90s kids and fanboys would eat that **** up

 

[Maximus One]

Personally I'd like to see something more along the lines of Mr Brooks. Big sucessful business man leading a double life as a killer with a detective on his trail and hell even a character like Dane Cook's. That movie could be stretched into a pretty long series EASILY

Yeah, I'm sure there are a lot of people who saw Rules of Attraction and didn't even catch that Sean was Patrick's brother... it didn't help that the movie was set in the present day and not the 1980s (though I still liked it). I was hoping for a Patrick cameo like in the book, though that unfortunately didn't happen. Anyway, I think a show could really be good if they brought in Bret Easton Ellis as a consultant. Not sure if it would be successful though.

I've read Hannibal and I LOVED the book never read any of the others although I do own Red Dragon. Are the other books similar at all to Hannibal? I guess Hannibal himself isn't much focus in the other books considering he sort of takes front and center in Hannibal. I'm just curious cuz I'm thinking about reading Red Dragon

Manhunter was the superior adaptation you ask me.

 

[Maximus One]

I've never seen Manhunter. Is it really that good?

 

[nite-owl]

Yes.

 

[Maximus One]

Thanx. I never even knew Red Dragon was a remake until well after it's release. I think Red Dragon is my favorite of them but I guess I'm gonna have to watch Manhunter now.

It's like that huh? Well, I now have a mission for the day

No, it's really not. It is more style over substance, and the film is painfully dated. Some of Petersen's lines are absolutely hilarious. "It's just you and me now, sport. And I'm going to find you, God damn it!!" (super dramatic voice)

 

[Maximus One]

Well..

 

[Schlosser85]

I wasn't impressed by Manhunter either.

William Petersen and Tom Noonan aren't very good actors, and Brian Cox, while perfectly fine for what his role was, isn't nearly as memorable as Anthony Hopkins. Cox was fine, don't get me wrong, but he just doesn't leave an indelible mark on the character like Hopkins did.

I'm not super-enthused about Red Dragon either, for that matter, but at least Norton's not as hammy as Petersen and Ralph Fiennes, while not in top form IMO, is better than Noonan.

Wow, I pretty much disagree on each one of your points (I found Red Dragon, including Sir Anthony's performance, to be cartoonish) but I won't take this thread off topic with a Mann vs. Ratner debate.

I have a feeling you and I had the same discussion in the Les Miserables thread (note to everyone else: seriously, don't ask, it gets weird).

How is the Red Dragon book? Would you recommend reading it for information? Or is all the info about the characters and their history that was in the book in the film?

 

[Maximus One]

Don't bother asking about the books in here, apparently nobody has read them or they just don't wanna give their opinions and answer people's questions about them! Lol

I'm about 100 pages or so into it and it's pretty good. It's worth a read. As I'm not too terribly far into the book I can't say if it's lending any more insight into the characters, but it's definitely a good read.

45 minutes, east coast. Watch live or I'll ****ing have you for supper!

 

[Maximus One]

See thats what I'm wondering is about character insight. That's why I loved Hannibal, the parts of the book from Hannibal's POV were great. That's what I want more of, trips to Hannibal's memory castle, or was it palace? Can't remember which but he talked about going there all the time when he was incarcerated. Still don't see how they ****ed that movie up so bad cuz the book was rad
