Hey Hannibal Fans!!!
I found this posting on http://www.moviem.com dated back in May/03.
************************************************** ****
A new Hannibal Lecter film plotted by Lecter's creator Thomas Harris.
Screen Daily says that producer Dino De Laurentiis will be developing The Lecter Variation which is currently being plotted by Lecter's creator Thomas Harris.
The film, which is being subtitled "The Story Of Young Hannibal Lecter", follows the serial killer from his childhood in Lithuania through a period in Paris in his teens to his arrival in the US. De Laurentiis said that four actors will be required to play young Lecter at the ages of 12, 16, 20 and 25.
"Lecter was born into a very rich family but the war destroyed his family and killed his parents," explained De Laurentiis. "He was left with his sister with whom he had a very close relationship."
Universal, which handled international distribution on Hannibal and the world on Red Dragon for De Laurentiis, will again distribute The Lecter Variation.
Harris has written the story for the producer and is likely to write the screenplay himself as well as a book. The title refers to Bach's Goldberg Variations which have been a recurring musical reference in the Lecter saga to date.
************************************************** ******
I will be looking forward to this and hopefully it happens.
Let's see who they cast as the young Lector???
Any takes on who do you think would fit the role????
How about Christian Bale (American Psycho)???
