After The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal, the audience would like to know where, when, and who arrests Hannibal Lecter for the first time. This is the story of Red Dragon.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
These scenes deal with what happened before Hannibal Lecter was captured for the first time.
My favorite movie villain? Oh, that's easy. Hannibal Lecter.
I think so, Silence of the Lambs was a great, suspenseful thriller and I would expect Red Dragon to be similar. And I think it's very character driven.
I remember when we were doing the first Dragon's Lair, I got really involved with coming up with all the little rooms and what was the danger in the room and going into it with bats and spiders and snakes.
I think one of the things that was a huge surprise to everyone with 'Silence of the Lambs' was that that was an Oscar-winning horror movie. It struck such a nerve with audiences that it was a very particular, special experience.
King Pellinore that time followed the questing beast.
My dad named me after Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian general who attacked Rome. But nobody knows about him.
The king appeared... with his dogs and sycophants behind him.
I did a lot of research on real serial killers, and they're not Hannibal Lecters. They're cruel men who are given the opportunity to do something terrible, and a lot of the time it's about impotence. They feel powerless in the real world.
Hannibal Lecter stole Leatherface's mask and ported the slasher conventions into the thriller for the early '90s.
