It all began with revenge.

In 1944, during World War II, eight-year-old Hannibal Lecter lives with his family at Lecter Castle in Lithuania. The Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union has turned the Baltic region into one of the bloodiest fronts of the conflict, and the house is no longer safe. His parents decide to move the two children to the family's hunting cabin in the forest, hoping to avoid the German troops advancing through the area. Peter Webber directs the film, and Gaspard Ulliel plays the lead in his younger version. The journey to the forest refuge is the first step in an escape that soon becomes complicated, and young Hannibal, together with his sister Mischa, begins to realize that the war has reached his front door.

Trivia about Hannibal Rising

Dino De Laurentiis saw Gaspard Ulliel in the French film A Very Long Engagement (2004), which is why the actor auditioned for the role of Hannibal Lecter.

Ulliel turned down the role several times because he considered it too risky, and he only changed his mind after meeting with director Peter Webber.

Before filming, director Peter Webber sent Ulliel to a medical school in Prague to watch an autopsy class. Webber thought the actor would be horrified, but Ulliel came back the next day and asked to do it again.

Dino De Laurentiis said four actors would play Lecter at different ages, specifically at 12, 16, 20 and 25 years old, when the project was presented at the Cannes Film Festival in 2003.

The film was nominated for two Golden Raspberry Awards but didn't win either. The categories were Worst Prequel or Sequel and Worst Excuse for a Horror Movie.

Several actors auditioned to play Hannibal, including Hayden Christensen, Macaulay Culkin, Hugh Dancy, Rupert Friend, Dominic Cooper, Tom Sturridge and Tom Payne.

«Hannibal Rising» earned $13.05 million in its opening weekend in the United States and finished with $82.17 million worldwide.

The film was shot at Barrandov Studios in Prague and grossed $82.17 million worldwide against an estimated budget of $75 million.
