Fine young HANNIBALS

[Damien3]

Es gibt ein Casting für "Young Hannibal"oder nach Harris Buchname:"Behind the Mask"
Schlimm, das jezt bald der 5. Aufguss gedreht wird...

But the existence of a movie that will be called Young Hannibal (which is worse – that title or Harris’ book, which is called Behind the Mask? I have heard that Harris wrote large portions of Hannibal – including the ending, which had Clarice going off with Hannibal – as a fuck you. I wonder if Behind the Mask as a title is more of the same, or if he just watches a lot of VH1?), has long been derided here on CHUD. What we’re now talking about is the casting for the film, which starts on September 15. The film, not the casting. That’s been underway.

If it hadn’t been underway we would never have known that steadily working but barely known actor Rhys Ifans is playing the man who killed Hannibals parents (can you imagine that he has Batman’s origin?). Or that Kevin McKidd, currently playing Lucius on the new HBO series Rome (yet to be watched on my TiVo) is Hannibal’s dad. Or that A Very Long Engagement’s Gaspard Ulliel may be playing Fine Young Hannibal himself.

The worst bit of news, though, is that Sir Anthony Hopkins, needing some work done on his roof, I guess, will be supplying the narration over the film. They couldn’t even get a dude to play The Shape this many times.
