I'm about halfway through the book right now.&nbsp; It's OK.

[TheGameHHH]

yea wait, what was that movie Red Dragon all about then?

[JimBeam]

<p>Red Dragon was a remake of manhunter which was made before Silence Of The Lambs and first mentioned Hannibal Lechter but wasn't really about Lechter.</p><p>This movie gives us the background on Lechter himself.</p>

Hold on a second.&nbsp; This book came out in December.&nbsp; How the fuck did they already makea movie out of it?&nbsp; And if the book is any indication then this movie won't even be as good as the Hannibal movie and forget it being anywhere close to Silence of the Lambs.

<p>I didnt realize that Cox had declined to play Lechter in Silence.</p><p>That's pretty crazy.</p><p>Kicking himself for that one I bet.</p><p>Oh well he made up for it in his Oscar worthy role in that flick with Johnny Knoxville ( the name of which is slipping my mind ) about the Special Olympics.</p>

Hannibal Rising... did anyone see that movie? I didn't even realize there was another Hannibal Lecter movie.

Oh wait... there is...

Hopkins To Feast As Hannibal Again
15 May 2009 5:00 AM, PDT

Sir Anthony Hopkins is teaming up with director Sir Ridley Scott to bring his most infamous villain Hannibal Lecter back to the big screen.

The actor will reprise his cannibalistic serial killer for the fourth time in a second sequel to the 1991 hit film The Silence of the Lambs, for which he won a Best Actor Oscar.

Hopkins also appeared in 2001's Hannibal before starring in the 2002 prequel Red Dragon.

And actress Cate Blanchett has been tipped to take over the role of Clarice Starling after Jodie Foster pulled out to direct Claire Danes in the forthcoming Flora Plum.

A spokesperson for film-makers Universal says, "Hopkins and Scott are both very committed. We like what we've got, and the revised script is really, really good."

Give a rest fellas. Three movies with three different Clarices?

It worked for the Tom Clancy and James Bond movies.
