Go "Behind the Mask" with a Young Lecter
Everyone's favorite psycopath is back, reports SKNR.net. On November 28th, author Thomas Harris is set to release "Behind the Mask," the next chapter in the life of cannibal genius Hannibal Lecter. The story is said to follow young Lecter in World War II and his relationship with his sister and family -- which is shattered by a Nazi occupation and subsequent atrocities.
According to the IMDb, the movie version is nearing completion, with Peter Webber ("Girl With a Pearl Earring") in the director's chair and French actor Gaspard Ulliel in the role of young Hannibal. No release date is set, although it looks to be a Weinstein Co. production.

on Mar 27 2006 02:14 PM [b]wow[/b] But who can possibly portray Hannibal Lector as perfectly as Anthony Hopkins? Maybe Christian Bale...he got the creepy loner character down with Bruce Wayne (but he wasn't as good as Michael Keaton). (Reply to this) |

on Mar 29 2006 10:53 AM I read somewhere that while Gaspard Ulliel will be playing Lecter, it will be Anthony Hopkins voice you will hear. (Reply to this) |
