05/26/01 -- The lovely Helene (Dr. and Mrs. Lecter) wrote in about a letter she received in the mail:

I would like to share with you an excerpt from the letter I received from Thomas Harris in response to a fan letter I sent him...I received the reply in only 2 weeks and it was postmarked Miami, FL:

"Dear Helene,

Thank you for your interesting letter....I added a forward to the most recent edition of 'Red Dragon' that you may find interesting...as to the continuing adventures of Hannibal and Clarice..I am inclined to let them dance forever on the terrace in Buenos Aires..."

Wow! Thanks, Helene!

04/21/01 - In case you're wondering what to get that hard-to-buy-for person in your life for Christmas or a birthday, check out what the amazing Heiko J. Wrusch came up with by clicking here!

Hannibal has crosed the 300 million mark. Check out Kenny's excellent Hannibal Shrine for the up to date details!

A while ago the great cleolinda sent in this sequel/prequel report from Dark Horizons:

"Red Dragon: Screenwriter Ted Tally talked with Cinescape magazine about the state of the next Dr. Lecter adventure and cleared up one issue at last - it will be both a prequel and sequel combined. The story will basically kick off with the cops nabbing the famous cannibal and heavily feature flashbacks to the earlier times of events mentioned in the RD novel. Thanks to 'Terry'"

Cleo also reports that Dino De Laurentiis sez he is not courting Jude Law or Jodie Foster for the sequel/prequel.

As always, thanks, cleo!

03/20/01 -- OK, I'm getting lazy and become a slacker in my Hannibalism. But luckily, cleo is not!

**Coming Attractions posts info on the new sequel and prequel! (thanks also to TonysGirl!)

**"Liotta Upset Over Morphine Claims": Apparently they're saying now that he really *was* doped up for that last scene--method acting, if you will--which he denies vehemently.

**Also, a fun anecdote over at Canoe.

There's more ... I'll get to it!

Thanks also to Kenny for pointing out the following:

The total now stands at $ 264,763,123 M. It's an indication, it's higher but the numbers don't come in regularly. Hannibal is now, according to my calculations between Indecent Proposal ($266.6M in 1993) and Jumanji ($264.7M in 1994).

03/10/01 -- Herewith, the divinely inspired cleolinda dishes up her report:

**Hannibal is the 11th most popular DVD at Amazon (courtesy of the IMDB)? How can that be, you ask? Well, you can pre-order it--for an estimated $25. The DVD will, apparently, be coming out 10/30/01--the day before Halloween. Sweet. (Editor's note: don't forget to shop Amazon through Greater Good or another such charity! Hannibal would approve).

**Brooke Smith currently in Series 7: The Contenders (a movie I'd really like to see, actually) but most of us remember her better as Catherine Martin. She was also very, very good in Vanya on 42nd Street--some of her best scenes were with...Julianne Moore (who was Yelena, and amazing). Here's the article about her.

**Courtesy of the Philadelphia Daily News, a real groaner: "What does Hannibal Lecter call a tight-rope walker?"

"A balanced meal."

**And the San Francisco Gate: "Twenty-one thousand people entered the Los Angeles Marathon on Sunday," says Alex Kaseberg, "or as Hannibal Lecter would call it, 'A Moveable Feast.' "

**Excellent, excellent, high-quality photo wallpapers here (Including the biggest picture of Francesca Neri...IN THE WORLD.)

**Snippet from this article:

"Producer Dino de Laurentiis and "Silence of the Lambs" star Jodie Foster gave dueling reasons why she didn't play Clarice in "Hannibal": She says she thought the movie too violent; he says she was too expensive and too old." More rumors included.

**Ever wanted to know what foodstuff stood in for Gary Oldman?s face? The IGN interview has the answer. I know you?d posted the leads? interviews, but silly me, I hadn?t gone back in a while. (They don?t update some of the pages very often, if at all?so much for ?your daily dose of cannibalism.?) However, they now have Gary Oldman's and Ray Liotta?s interviews up.

**Also?this is spoilerific, but it serves a purpose: my aunt?s favorite movie site, screenit.com, has a page breaking Hannibal down (into tiny, tiny pieces). They divide ?objectionable content? into more categories than you can shake a stick at. Samples: Violence, Guns/Weapons, Profanity, Sex/Nudity, Smoking, Jump Scenes, Tense Family Scenes, Music (Scary/Tense) [as opposed to ?Music (Inappropriate)?, you see], Blood/Gore, and my favorite, ?Disrespectful/Bad Attitudes.? And many, many more. At the same time, they don?t comment on that content, per se, just inform you.

And will they ever inform you: you will have no need to see the movie after you read this page, because it tells you EVERYTHING. (No, wait?sometimes it omits names. Thanks!) However, you may decide to post the link, in case someone?s trying to decide what all the fuss is about?or, like me, they can?t decide if Little Sister should see it and want a refresher course on what all happened. Experience the magic HERE!

**Sad editor's note: Laura Palmer informs me that her new hosting service took down her site the same as stas.net did before it. If anyone has a good, strong server and want her video archive, email Laura.

Now, for the piece de resistance. Take it away cleo:

**In 1990, they filmed a "secret promo" for SOTL...on the first day of shooting. Read about it here!

Also on MGM.com: They've vastly updated their SOTL Media page from when I visited it in January. (I guess it was under construction, since they acquired the title from the defunct Orion.) 11 sound clips and 10 stills.

Editor's note: And finally, Fangoria online has posted a Verger shot! Since the film has opened in most of the world I will post a link with a warning! It's better to see him for the first time in the film and not on the web -- trust me! Thanks to cleo for the head's up: Click here for Fango!

Thanks for the report and the stylin' photo at the top o' today's page, cleo! You ROCK!

Now, the great Kenny has more on the worldwide box-office of Hannibal.

The total now stands at $231.335.109. It's an indication, it's higher but the numbers don't seem to come in regularly. Hannibal is now, according to my calculations between Sister Act ($231.6M in 1992) and Gone in 60 seconds ($230.9M in 2000).

Thanks, Kenny!

03/03/01 -- Thanks to the indefatigueable cleolinda for reeling in the following report:

**A fun article about "why the critics got it wrong" and how "Hannibal is a sublime love story." Read it by clicking here! (Ed.'s note: Two amazing thinkers, Gary Percesepe and Frederick Barthelme, discussing Hannibal. This is the coolest!)

**Animal-friendly review: Dug this up while procrastinating today (Sunday, that is). It reviews, in terms of the American Humane Association's animal safety guidelines, the film--not so much, "was it good?", but "how did they make it?". Lots of trivia about the boars--"In the pen, dummies and the stuntman were smeared with food so that the animals naturally mouthed the bodies. Popcorn jumps up and places his front feet on the stuntman�s shoulders, appearing to knock him over. When it appears as though the boar is attacking the head and throat of the man, an animatronic boar�s head was used." Also, Krendler's dog, the pigeons and doves in the opening credits, and the boars' upcoming film roles (!). If you like behind-the-scenes info, this is for you.

Editor's note: Cleo has also sent in scads more pictures, which you can see in the Pictures section!

**Almost half of Ebert's Movie Answer Man column is devoted to Hannibal. My favorite question: "A dentist friend suggests that instead of going to such lengths to restrain Hannibal Lecter, they should have simply removed all his teeth. Your opinion?"

**"It's enough to make your eyes water":
An article about the eye as an image in films. Excerpt: "For a man with his culinary tastes, you'd expect the most terrifying feature of Dr Hannibal Lecter to be his teeth. But on the poster for Ridley Scott's Hannibal, they are discreetly sheathed behind Anthony Hopkins's benign smile. What arrests you instead is his eye - just the one - deep crimson, gleaming out at you with malevolent scrutiny. Part of Dr Lecter's power, as we know, is his perspicacity as a psychologist - his ability to see into his victims' souls and suck out their spiritual marrow." ** Goes on to discuss the eye as image in other films."

**"Dr Lecter, meet Dr. Freud":
Discusses MGM's newest ad campaign (and I quote): "Gone was the suave, menacing close-up of actor Anthony Hopkins marking earlier campaigns. In its place was an image from the film's grisly final reel, a dinner setting showing Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Hopkins) fiddling with a frying pan. His nemesis, FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore) placidly waits for the meal to be served." I, cleolinda, would like to see one of these ads myself...

**A Julianne Moore interview, "The Moore, The Merrier" and sequel news: As of 1/16/01: "'Well, it started out as a rumour, but there's a bit of truth,' Hopkins said. 'Will I do it? Yes, if the script is good.'" Lots more articles at films2.com.

**More sequel news, from Cinezone: "20 Million and Back End for Anthony Hopkins":
The long and short of this, in German, is [direct quote]: "Allegedly $20 million has been promised to Anthony Hopkins to step before the camera as Hannibal Lecter again." The article also repeats the "Erasure" technology bit, assuming that the film in question would be a Red Dragon remake and not the "fourth" film also floating through the ether.

Everyone be sure to check out scooper Gary's cool Hannibal pages! Warning: not for the faint of heart!

03/01/01 -- Mucho thanks to miss cleo for a report that can now be found in the Red Dragon/Sequel section!

The great scooper Kenny reports that Hannibal has cracked the $200 million mark (OK, my earlier figure of $2 mil was an aggregious typo :))! Check out his amazing site, Hannibal's Shrine!

Also, muchas gracias to scooper Inge for sending us the following transcript and a cool collection of wallpapers. The following interview is with the disk producer for the new MGM dvd of Silence of the Lambs from DVD File.

DF: Silence of the Lambs.

JS: We're done with it. It's massive. The most extensive documentary we've done. I worked with a co-producer, Laura Nix, on that and we'll be doing more projects together.

DF: But you're not trying to duplicate the Criterion disc?

JS: No. Not at all. I would say that people should keep their Criterions for certain things but ours is definitely as exhaustive as we could have done it. It's packed.

DF: They'll wait for Hannibal to get its video release and cross promote it sometime late in the summer probably.

JS: I'm sure that's the plan. Silence of the Lambs is one of my favorite films so it was a real honor to do it.

02/28/01 -- Thanks to everyone who wrote in about the Silence of the Lambs disk! New Red Dragon news in the Red Dragon section, new pictures in the Pictures section and some news from the rockin Hannibal sleuth cleolinda:

The InStyle party hopper caught the Hannibal premiere and reports on it HERE. Cleo observes,

Three pages: pay special attention to the shot of "living statues" on the second page.

Page one, text: Julianne Moore. 'One draw, no doubt, was the film's star, Julianne Moore, who plays FBI agent Clarice Starling. "This was one of the best jobs I've ever had," she said at the party, lounging on a plush red chaise, delicately dangling a Heineken. "It was a pleasure playing Clarice."'

Page two: the NY Public Library's apropos d�cor: 'The New York Public Library had been totally transformed with muted red lights, cadaverous living statues, crimson velvet backdrops, blood-red roses and candlelight. It had just the kind of ambience Dr. Lecter would have preferred...'

Page three discusses...the food. '....Elsewhere, in an intimate enclave, the man whose character had quite calmly advised an adversary, "I'm giving serious thought to eating your wife," dined on a more palatable meal. Sir Anthony Hopkins, ever the dapper gentleman, sipped tea and nibbled a mini baguette as he mingled with producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis. As people chattered around him, Hopkins remained a man of few words, choosing instead to savor the cuisine. When asked about it, his response was a Hannibal-esque, "Mmm," complete with a trademark diabolical smile.'

Thanks, cleo!

02/26/01 -- Here's a brand new report from the divine cleolinda!

**Planethollywood.com has four interviews--Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman and Ray Liotta.

**Also, a good article/interview section at guidelive.com. Here's an excerpt:

"But if Lecter's lust is more pronounced on screen, actor Hopkins professes ignorance. Or perhaps he's enjoying a private Lecter-esque chuckle at the expense of his interviewer.

"'I don't think Hannibal has any sexual feelings for Clarice,' he says wearily by telephone last week. 'Obviously, he's very fond of her. And he feels protective of her, which he finds unusual and a little amusing. You know, he doesn't often feel protective toward humans.'

"When it is mentioned that his performance virtually drips with sexual longing, he says edgily: "That's in the eye of the beholder. Some people simply see a man and a woman exchange a greeting, and they read all sorts of sexual undercurrents into it.'"

Whatever you say, Doc.

**supercalafragalistic.com has a review of Hannibal (with Flash commentary from the doctor �himself�)

**Interview w/Julianne Moore w/pictures!

Pi�ce de r�sistance:

**A huge collection of articles at ICShowbiz.com: Several features and articles listed down the second half of the page. Basic rundown:

�Hopkins Back for 3 and 4� (The second half of the article features some interesting armchair psychology on his part.)

Among the myriad other articles:

�Empathy for the Devil� A five-page interview/profile of Anthony Hopkins, and �The Real Clarice Starling�, a five-page article on the FBI agent who trained Julianne Moore for the film. And �Fiends That Inspired a Film Maniac�, Real-life killers. And many, many others.

Thanks as always cleo!

02/24/01 -- It's a short but sweet update today ... at least until I get an email from my most prolific scooper. An interview with Julianne Moore at FilmForce, 10 Things You Need to Know About Hannibal from SceneOne UK (although a couple of them aren't true!) and Hannibal is Kickin it with Byron Allen! (with gracious thanks to Haley for that last!).

02/23/01 -- The great Arjan Wells has seen Hannibal! Check out his review (and compare and contrast with his soundtrack review) by clicking HERE!

The great scooper cleolinda pointed us to this cool little piece by Ridley himself about making Hannibal (with a plethora of related stories on that site!) at This is London!

Cleolinda also visited the Spanish site, Cinemaniacos (what a great word!) and translated this amusing mini-review:

**Hannibal Lecter the most horrifying - Hannibal (02-09-01): I only want to say that this so-long-awaited Hannibal has already been pirated��and a friend of mine bought one of the bootlegs and invited a group of us to come see it, I�m only going to say this: a [female] friend ran out of the house crying and went home, another immediately threw up and it�s not so bad between the worst scenes, the most outstanding scenes are the gigantic wild boars (I don�t know how they made the special effects so real), a Gary Oldman with only one eye without lids and no lips, and a carnivorous dinner of brains and other things. Anthony is brilliant again and Julian[ne] is excellent, you can�t miss this!!!!!!!!!!!! **

Cleo also translated some AMAZING Q&As with Anthony Hopkins and Julianne Moore from Cinemaniacos! To read the whole thing, CLICK HERE, but in the meantime, enjoy these sound bites:

Q: "Were you were satisfied with the ending, which is different from the book?"

Julianne Moore: "When I became involved with the project, there was already no question that they wouldn�t film that ending, but nevertheless I had liked it a lot. It has logic, it works with the essence of the characters and the psychological voltage between the two of them is solved in a very fitting way. For me, that�s the real ending."

Q: "Would you like to make another sequel?"

Anthony Hopkins: "By the time Thomas Harris finished the next book, I�d already be too old. They may make a prequel based on his book Red Dragon, I�m going to read the script, but nothing�s certain yet."

Thanks also to the great cleo for the new montage image at the top of the page!

02/22/01 -- TONS of pics today. Cleolinda found a bunch at Les News! (some are pictured above! Check it out, they're cool.)

Also, an exceedingly thorough site with tons of images, articles and information about Julianne Moore at the Julianne Moore Temple (but the keepers of this site should credit the great Laura Palmer for some of those TV clips!)

A new soundtrack review from IGN FilmForce.

Here is the rest of cleo's report:

**"Julianne Moore is lending some of her star power to her brother, Peter Moore Smith.
Moore, who starred as Clarice Starling in "Hannibal," says she plans to star in a movie version of Peter's novel, "Raveling." Set in New York, the thriller is about a schizophrenic who believes his sister has been murdered by his older brother. Sounds as if Moore, who has said that "Hannibal" sent her to a shrink, could have a few more hours on the couch ahead of her. "I don't know if it will end up being easier or fun keeping things all in the family," she says. "I guess I will just have to find out."

**Dark Horizons has an update on the Australian ratings situation, as does the news wire (�Aussie Teens Curbed on Hannibal�).

**�A Dark and Stormy Knight.�: An old but very good interview/profile from 1998 with info about what Anthony Hopkins draws in his scripts.

**An interview on mymovies.net:
On violent films: �We all go to the movies to see those characters and I don't think there is anything particularly disturbing about it. They are entertaining, they give us a fright. I mean Shakespearean tragedies and plays that were done in Europe in the 15th and 16th century were pretty grisly, ghastly affairs and the Jacobean tragedies like "Tis Pity She's A Whore" and "Duchess of Malfi" are pretty gruesome, because that's what life was like. Strangely enough they are all set in Italy as well, which is a peculiar juxtaposition of the beauty of the Renaissance, which was built out of barbarism and horrible cruelty.�

**Two articles about Ray Liotta. Click HERE and HERE!!

**�Blunder gives children Hannibal instead of Disney� (editor's note: this link didn't work when I tried it but the headline was too good not to include. Maybe you could go rooting around Ananova...)

**�Liotta says he�s coming from �lull��

**�Viewers feast on Hannibal� (editor's note: what's next? "Hannibal flosses with competition?")

**From Yahoo! M�xico:

A previous article also appeared, called �Hannibal Lecter visits Mexico.� The following article (complete with some ramblings from De Laurentiis) describes what happened when he got there:

�Anthony Hopkins, modest to a fault�: (CNI in line) Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins, visiting Mexico to promote his new film "Hannibal," was nothing but modest and affirmed that he only does his job, like anyone in a common profession.

Prior to the opening of the sequel of "The Silence of the Lambs," opening in our country 23 February, the actor, 64, was monosyllabic through almost the entire conversation, and he did not tire of saying that his identification with Hannibal Lecter is only what the profession demands, no more. Hopkins will gain 10 million dollars by his performance.

Dressed in black and accompanied by the producers of the film, Martha and Dino de Laurentiis, Hopkins was very modest about his work and said he "has no idea" if his [second] performance will also manage to win an Oscar.

"Hannibal," taken from the novel by Thomas Harris, has been promoted in Italy, New York, France, Berlin and Madrid. Only in the United States has it obtained 135 million dollars within 10 days of its opening, whereas in Great Britain and Italy it took in 9.5 million.

Of director Ridley Scott, Hopkins assured that he only needs two or three takes, because he respects his production and he is not a bad director with his people.

There�s great expectation for "Hannibal," which tells the story of Dr. Lecter�s life 10 years after he escaped confinement. The producer made very clear that the film is not the second part of �The Silence of the Lambs,� because "the first is a 'thriller' and 'Hannibal' is the second act, but has nothing to do with first."

One of the differences is that this time it�s not Jodie Foster in the role of Clarice Starling, because, according to the producer, he didn�t think that she could play this �second act,� since the protagonist of "The Silence of the Lambs� was a rookie, and today she is a mature woman.

"Anyway the script came to her and she herself rejected it for the same reason," said De Laurentiis.

**�Anthony Hopkins: �I never wanted to play the good guys of Shakespeare��

MADRID, 13 (EUROPE PRESS) Actor Anthony Hopkins, in Spain to promote the film 'Hannibal', confessed today that he never wanted to play the good guys of Shakespeare. "I�ve had the luck of never working in a comedy and never getting the girl in a movie. I�m thankful to have had the opportunity to give life to solitary and romantic characters.� 'Hannibal' comes to be the second part of the five times oscarizada 'The Silence of the Lambs.� This time, the American-nationalized British actor again gets under the skin of doctor Hannibal Lecter, in a film directed by Ridley Scott and costarring Julianne Moore, as the FBI agent Clarice Starling.

This second act of Hannibal Lecter�s life begins in Florence, where Lecter took refuge ten years ago now, having escaped a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. But FBI Agent Starling has not been able to forget to him, nor he forget her. The sixth [sic] victim of Lecter, Mason Verger, also remembers him: he managed to survive, though disfigured, after one of Hannibal�s attacks. Hopkins, who visited the capital with producers Dino and Martha de Laurentiis, after the film played in the International Festival of Cinema in Berlin, recognized that giving life to characters with a dark side has perhaps made reality of �a childhood fantasy.�

�The interesting and solitary characters I play are perhaps the projection of a childhood desire; I loved the films of Humprey Bogart and I always wanted to identify itself with that type of character," assured Hopkins, a man who also likes solitude in personal life. According to Hopkins, this type of role "has always pleased the public."

**Hopkins has been selected as an Oscar presenter for 25 March in Los Angeles.

**And to round out the morning, updates from IMDB:

"Anthony Hopkins Just Wants To Be A Hunk"

Sir Anthony Hopkins is delighted he commands such respect in the movie industry - but he'd rather be considered a heart-throb. The veteran Oscar-winning actor has been praised for his virtuoso performances as characters such as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and has won countless awards for his art. But despite the public recognition, Hopkins admits sometimes he'd like to be admired for his hunky good looks. He says, "People say nice things about me, like I disappear into the roles, but there's disadvantages to being known as the 'character'. I'd like to wake up and look like Brad Pitt in the morning, but I don't. I look in the mirror and I see me."

muchas gracias, Cleolinda hermoso!
