Its undeniable genius. Its unspeakable evil

Ten years after the events of The Silence of the Lambs, FBI agent Clarice Starling is working in Washington, D.C., with her reputation in tatters. A drug operation went wrong and left five people dead, and the blame falls on her. Her superiors have sidelined her, and the press is targeting her, while she tries to hold on to a job that hangs by a thread. Ridley Scott directs the film, and Julianne Moore plays Starling, taking over from Jodie Foster. The story centers on Hannibal Lecter, the cannibal killer who vanished after his escape. A former survivor of his crimes is also hunting him, and Starling finds herself in a race to find him before the other man does.

Trivia about Hannibal

After the premiere, Dino De Laurentiis confirmed that without Anthony Hopkins there would have been no movie. According to the producer, the withdrawal of Foster and Hopkins could have killed the project.

A review from ScreenwritersUtopia.com called David Mamet's first draft "stunningly bad," though it considered Steven Zaillian's rewrite "gripping entertainment."

For the American portion, Hopkins bulked up and gave himself a very short haircut, with the idea of making his Lecter look like a mercenary.

Gary Oldman asked that his name not appear in the credits, which, in his words, allowed him to play Mason Verger anonymously under heavy makeup.

Julianne Moore received training from the FBI at the agency's headquarters before filming began.

The budget of "Hannibal" reached $80 million, and the production was financed as a joint venture between Universal and MGM due to the cost of the rights and several profit-sharing agreements.

The film grossed $58,003,121 in its opening weekend in the United States and Canada, at the time the third-biggest opening of all time and a record for an R-rated film.

To create a stunt double for a scene with Ray Liotta, a mold was made of his body and an articulated dummy of his head and neck was built; the replica made it possible to film the sequence without using the actor's body.

Quotes by Hannibal

[in a letter to Clarice Starling] Dear Clarice, I have followed with enthusiasm the course of your disgrace and public shaming. My own never bothered me, except for the inconvenience of being incarcerated, but you may lack perspective.
[about Dr. Lecter] He's always with me. Like a bad habit.
It's all right. I have immunity from the U.S. Attorney. And I have immunity... from the risen Jesus. And nobody beats the Riz.
[in a letter to Clarice Starling] Your job is to craft my doom... so I'm not sure how well I should wish you... but I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun. Ta-ta. "H."
This is from the Guinness Book of World Records, congratulating me on being the female FBI Agent who has shot and killed the most people.
[to Clarice] Isn't it funny? You can look at my face... but you shied when I said the name of God.
