WANT TO SEE NOW! Can't wait.... Release it early... sweep the oscars again, get Ridley his Oscar.... Get Hopkins another, get Julianne her first.... Let's go.... I'm ready. There is nothing coming out for the remainder of the year in league with this. HANNIBAL is THE film I want to see. It will be HUGE. Here's the trailer.... and.... ANOTHER REVIEW of last night's top secret screening in San Diego!!!
The review does have alot of spoilers THOUGH NONE OF THE ENDING! But more info than many of you will want.... but here is a paragraph excerpt that ought to get your juices going if this trailer didn't do it already.
They did ask us not to tell anyone how
the movie ends, but I don't want say because that was the tensest half hour
Ive seen in a movie since the end of Se7en, but it probably wouldn't have
been if I knew what was going to happen. It did make me squirm the whole
time, though. The girl in the couple next to me was freaking out and
covering her eyes. These guys are serious.Man...... I'm there with friggin Bells on.... It can not get here soon enough. Here's the trailer:

Here is the review from Wagner... beware of SPOILERS... Again though... the ending is not contained... If you know the ending, do not be an ass... DON'T TELL ANYONE. I don't want to know EITHER. STAY QUIET.
Harry,
This is my first time writing you but I've been reading your site for
about a year and love the scoops. I got into the Hannibal screening on
Thursday night and started writing this review last night when I got home,
but couldn't finish it until today.
I want to first say that Hannibal is an intense movie. The
deliberateness of certain, erm, strong scenes, the fact that they take their
time, and are so beautiful to watch even while you're squirming, gives this
film such a sharp edge that watching it is like spending a couple of hours
in a really intense fight (or really intense sex, depending how you look at
it).
The movie starts like this: Barney the prison orderly from Silence has
been making a pretty good living selling Hannibal shit to Mason Verger.
Mason, who is incredibly rich and powerful, is hunting Hannibal. He's the
only Hannibal victim who lived, but barely. His face is one big scar. He
gets Barney to talk about what happened between Hannibal and Clarice.
Clarice Starling is in charge of a drug raid that goes bad. She ends
up shooting the main druglord, which is a lady with a baby strapped to her
chest. Clarice goes down for this. The media labels her an angel of death
and the FBI takes her down a notch while they investigate. But in the
meantime she is put back on the Hannibal Lecter case. You get the feeling
that Mason may have something to do with this.
Clarice goes down to the basement of the FBI building and starts
digging through old files about Hannibal. She punches Hannibal's name into
ebay and finds out someone's making a lot of money off him and then she goes
and talks to Barney, and gets from him the tapes that were made during her
talks with Hannibal back in the day.
Cut to: Florence and "Dr. Fell". He's up for the job of curator of a
museum while Inspector Pazzi is investigating the death of the first one.
Of course Dr. Fell is really Dr. Lecter, and after he mind fucks Pazzi, it
ain't long before Pazzi figures out that Fell and Lecter are the same. He
gets into the FBI Ten Most Wanted List and finds out that there is a 3
million dollar reward for Hannibal, alive, and starts trying to get
Hannibal's fingerprint.
Pazzi hires a kid on the street to get it. Hannibal easily kills him
but Pazzi gets the fingerprint. You pretty much know from that point on
what's gonna happen to him. There's a great scene at the opera when
Hannibal meets Pazzi's hot wife. Then you find out that Mason has been
paying these pig farmers to raise wild boars and train them to eat people.
These are the guys that come after Hannibal. The scene where Pazzi tries to
"catch" Hannibal is fucking brilliant, but instead of Hannibal getting
caught, Pazzi ends up hanging out the window with his guts falling out.
This is also the scene where Clarice and Hannibal first talk on the phone.
Hannibal escapes easily (but not before killing one of the pig farmers)
and goes to Virginia where he moves into a house that also happens to be FBI
agent Krendler's house. Mason Verger figures out a way to use Clarice to
lure Hannibal out in the open, and Clarice also starts trying to catch him.
I don't want to go past there. They did ask us not to tell anyone how
the movie ends, but I don't want say because that was the tensest half hour
Ive seen in a movie since the end of Se7en, but it probably wouldn't have
been if I knew what was going to happen. It did make me squirm the whole
time, though. The girl in the couple next to me was freaking out and
covering her eyes. These guys are serious.
About the acting, I thought they were all really good, especially
Anthony Hopkins. It was beautiful to watch, and moved pretty quickly. It
was about two hours long. The sountrack was temporary, but I liked some of
it. There was a lot of classical, but some ravey stuff mixed in. My
favorite part about the movie were the scenes between Hannibal and Clarice,
the way they talked to each other. It's like they're saying one thing with
their words, but another thing with their voices. These are people who have
lived with each other for a long time, even though they haven't actually
talked in years. And the ending rocked.
I've been to other test screenings and this was probably the best
looking film I've ever seen at one (it was fuzzy during some special effects
sections toward the end). I would be surprised if they changed anything. I
hope they don't.

What's the player for ASX files? MusicMatch JukeBox started up when I clicked on the link and then crashed.
-
Damn. Dino must have put this film on the fast track. Hannibal is one cold bastard. My man is out eating people! They have to use flesh eating hogs to get him.
-
This movie is going to kick some major ass! Thanks for the review!
I have a copy of the script and from what I have seen (between this review and the Jack Daniels review), it is pretty friggin' authentic!
I'll be first in line to see this film on Feb. 9, 2001! -
This review seems to follow the novel pretty closely, and if the ending is on point as well, this film will drop some friggin jaws. i cant wait!
-
I had the same deal happen with MusicMatch opening up. Just go change your file association to use the Windows Media Player. That worked for me. The clip kicks ass.
-
This computer I'm on couldn't handle playing the trailer properly, but it still looks amaking and I can't wait to see the movie, especially Gary Oldman as Mason Verger. The novel gave a pretty graphic depiction of how fucked up his face is, so it must be some make up job on old Gary.
-
Mamet! Yeah, I agree. I didn't hear he'd worked on the script. I have to say the trailer looked good but Hopkins didn't scare me like he still does just looking at him in the original. He's still a brilliant actor but I still think you have to make a sequel within seven years of the original to keep that special magic mojo, otherwise it dissipates. Name one sequel made beyond seven years of the original that was worth it (with The Color of Money as the required one exception to the rule). But anyway the presence of Zaillian and especially Mamet has piqued my hope for the first time.
p.s. Anyone see the trailer for Mamet's State & Main? Hilarious! (Macy: "Who designed these costumes? It looks like Edith Head puked and the puke designed these costumes!") -
It starts too buffer than fails at differing %s what is wrong someone please help mEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! ETonline link does same thing, is it too busy or something...??? ok im gonna go shrivel up in a corner and cry......cry for me...........cry with me......jeeeeezzzzzusssssss just CRY!!!!
-
And left the trailer to d/l while I was enjoying it. Unfortunately, when I came back to play it I found it did not work!!! It seems to have d/l but all I'm getting is a black screen. Ah well, if it doesn't work again I will just wait until ET screens here in Australia on Monday morning for me to see it.
-
According to Dark Horizons (sorry harry, saw it there first), the 300k doesnt work, i dont know why, but DH says that the official hannibal site will post the trailers in quicktime on monday... The site itself is pretty cool: www.mgm.com/hannibal lots of pretty pictures :)
-
That's right, the good Doctor. Okay, here it goes:
1. I love Florence
2. Is it just me, or does it sound like Sir Tony's trying too hard to do
the voice?
3. I don't like how they changed it from Lecter being discovered to him
needed to search out Clarice
4. That shot when she goes to his old cell and then show him from SotL...
BRILLIANT!!!
5. Mason Verger in a wheelchair? Well, I guess I can see that
6. Still don't understand why he's in mask
7. Some of it was a bit cheesy
8. Overall, I'm excited, but a bit disappointed.
9. Oh yeah, Moore isn't too bad, the accent's okay, but she's no Foster
I think that's it...
-
WOW, that was great! Even the captions were spot-on ... "His genius ... undeniable ..." I do agree with someone here that Hopkins does seem to be over-doing the Lecter voice but maybe that's only because we haven't heard him for a long time now.
By the way, to the reviewer: WAS THE AIRPLANE ECONOMY CLASS scene in the movie? The one where the rude little boy grabbed Lecter's sandwich. WHAT A RIOT that would be! -
It's been a while since I read the book but what exactly did they change? Point 3?
-
Starling eats someone in the end...
-
Will it be as bad as in Poltergeist 2? With Carol anne? Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?Carol anne?

I love the trailer, I am so excited, Anthony looks great and Julianne does too though I'm still disappointed the wonderful Hillary Swank didn't get the part, I love Gary Oldman, I love Ridley Scott. Why don't they release this movie in time for the Oscars? I haven't seen a single decent movie this year. 1999 was great but 2000 sucks. Is this the final cut of the movie or are they going to play around with it? If not, release it NOW!!!
P.S. Does Julianne play Clarice as sexually ambiguous like in the book? I was wondering if they kept that in the script and that's why Jodie turned it down, she doesn't like movies with lesbians in them which must mean that's why Margot got the chop and Margot was my favorite new character. -
The Hannibal trailer feels like Silence of the Lambs 1.5 without Jodie Foster's Agent Starling in it. I think Julianne Moore was fantastic in Boogie Nights and Magnolia, and I'm hoping for a great film with great chemistry between Hopkins and Moore, but I don't think I'm alone when I say I have always hoped for a continuation of the Hannibal/Starling dialogue.
-
To the imbecile that referred to Silence of the Lambs as a "horror show of bad cinematography", the DP on Lambs was the great Tak
Fujimoto and his work on that film was stellar - creating a sense of stylized realism that was perfect for the material. As for anyone wondering why Zallian is being touted more than Mamet in regards to the Hannibal screenplay, it's because Mamet's first draft was incredibly weak and Zallian's re-write is really what got this on the right track. -
... was plain, unimaginative and video-like. I am sorry, but that's the truth. Was the weakest point of the flick.
-
Complaints about the cinematography on Silence of the Lambs could only come from people brainwashed by MTV into thinking that "good" cinemtography has to mean "slick". The look of Silence was an artistic choice to go for a muted, autumnal look. It's not supposed to look glamourous or flashy.
-
I've got to agree with the criticism of the cinematography in Silence, I thought it was murky and muddy, exactly like the cinematography in Sixth Sense, it gave you eye strain. Beloved was ugly too, what else has he done?
-
Y'know what's worse? Back to the Future movies where Marty goes "Doc!" "Doc!" "Doc!" "Doc!" "Hey, Doc!" "Doc!" "Doc!" I always made fun of Marty for saying "Doc" over and over in the Back to the Future movies, but my Nanny went out and bought me the silver Nike hi-tops anyways. Guess I'll try the trailer Monday.
-
i dont know why people are getting thier rocks off on this. To me, it looks like Hopkins is delivering a Hannibal Lector parody. The guy already shit upon the character by doing the voice and mannerisms as a joke (like on Inside the Actors Studio), and this trailer just looked like more of that. What made Silence work, was that the film didnt focus on Lector, and that he was so cold and subdued when he was onscreen. This performance (and yeah, a trailer isnt too much to go on) looks too broad, big, and cheesy. Why you try to "act" menacing, its just not scary. i cant help but have my doubts, especially considering Hopkins lackadaze attitude twords acting these past few years. i think he's just in it for the paychecks.
-
What? The cinematography in The Sixth Sense was exceptional. It gave a sense of cold sterility, like a ghost would feel. Fujimoto's de-oxygenated world was one of the best parts of The Sixth Sense. In fact, the first thing I noticed in the Hannibal trailer was the outstanding cinematography. February 9: I can't wait.
-
Mamet wrote the original script, which was thrown out, and Zallian wrote the script that was filmed. I dunno why Mamet is getting screenplay credit, his version is totally different than the one that was actually used. Mamet's script was terrible(Mason Verger's face was obscured by an object whenever he was onscreen), and was one of the reasons Foster didn't sign on. Zallian's version was much better, but in either one the ending didn't work. I can't wait to see how it looks on the big screen, but that ending is gonna freak out a lotta people, even though it was toned down from the book.
-
The idea that 'hannibal' ,the novel, is a betryal to the characters in 'silence..' is only one belonging to someone who relied on the movies, instead of Harris' 3 novels to form an opinion. Eventhough, a person would have to be blind not to notice the static between Starling and Hannibal in the first movie, the finger touching..etc. . The book for Hannibal, is suprisingly better than the critics reviews, and worth a read. I really hope for the audience sake nothing has changed.
-
To all of you who think Hopkins sounds like he is doing a Hannibal parody, you know what you sound like? You sound like a bunch of rubes, and none of you are more than one generation from poor, white, trash.

The quicktime trailer from MGM is now available, and also with an interview.

Mali_Ocean, could you please just go rant somewhere else. You're
by mr sinister
Go read the Empire magazine article on Gladiator they had this summer. Read the part where Michael Mann told Mr Crowe to read the script for Gladiator because he thought, as Mr Ant (who also rants way too much) wrote, that Ridley Scott was among the top 2% of filmmakers of all time. You can rant all you want but that's what your great god said. I also love Michael Mann and I find him on a higher filmmaking level than Ridley Scott, but Scott comes right behind him. Idiot.
-
Too Mali_Ocean.
Ridley Scott is the most brilliant visualist in the world. Have you seen the genious in Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & louise, Legend and Gladiator? Every shot is perfect. If you say the visuals doesn't match the feeling in those movies you don't know what you are talking about. Movies are art and Ridley is one of the few that understands that.
His visuals made Alien suspenseful, as it should be.
In Blade Runner his visuals was exactly like the author of the novel had imagined it, the author of the novel said this himself!
The author was chocked how the movie looked, exactly like he had imagined it.
In Thelma & Louise he captured the spirit of the road movie perfectly.
Legend was a fairytale and the visuals was exactly that, like taken from a dream, a fairytale.
Finally, Gladiator shows Rome in all it's glory, like it was in real life.
If you want to blame Ridley Scott for something, blame him for something else than the visuals in his films. They couldn't get closer to perfection. He is one of the biggest visual artists in our time.
If Ridley has a good script, he can make wonders. If he has a bad script, he can at least make them look really good.
Ranting Over, out.

I, like most,have not seen the film. However, after seeing the trailer, I am somewhat nonplussed. Julianne Moore is a wonderful actress (BOOGIE NIGHTS, MAGNOLIA) but she does not have Jodie Foster's Clarice's frumpiness. Part of the whole appeal of the film of SoL is that
Clarice is naive and frumpy. She is real. With all due respect to Ms. Moore, it looks like Ridley Scott is going for the "glamour-girl pretending to be real" Hollywood image. Jodie Foster is a beautiful woman, but in SoL I really think she looked like one of us. Ridley Scott has turned Clarice into a Armani ad. It is in the opposition of Clarice's frumpiness vs. Lector's finesse that we were captivated. It appears that in Scott's HANNIBAL like is more boringly being attracted to like. -
Listen....very carefully.
Mann - ok he has made one film in which his style finally was matched by narrative skill, the insider is undeniably an important film. Scott - an inventor, an orginator, a one time lost hope now refound. Of all the films to be released next year Hannibal has been the only one to really get me interested. Now that I've seen the trailer, well WOW, WHOOOOO, and WHHHOOOOPPPEEE..... BRING IT ON! I can't quite get over Moore as the new starling (Yet) but I'm sure I'll grow used......
Now those who dis Scott - FUCK OFF OUT OF THE AREA, REALISE WHAT YOUR FAN BOY HERITAGE OWES TO THE GUY, GROW UP, STOP USING WORDS THAT YOU HAVE NO COMPREHENSION OF AND SEE THE GLORIOUS LIGHT.
Roll on Feb 16th (in in the uk)

Poor guy. And what exactly makes HANNIBAL a slasher story? If you claim that I don't think you've even read the book. Like someone else said, it might not be a masterpiece but it surely is not as bad as people like to make out. Also, Mali if you hate these 'comic book dorks' so much why do you post here? Probably to dazzle with your intelligence, shown in splendid form through your musings on masculinity and what it is to be a man. Oh, and hello to that other Mr Sinister posting here.
-
Didn't know someone would have the same good idea of having the same username as I. I've been here a while but maybe I stole yours. Sorry if that is so. And Mali_Ocean; what are you still doing here? Go away, no one wants you here, it doesn't even sound like you want to be here, so just go and leave your pubertile aggressions at the door. Good films are not about the lenses you use.
-
I can hear the trailer but I can't see it. Windows Media Player comes up automatically. What is it I am doing wrong and what can I do to fix it. I must say the audio alone was enough to make me double check my locks and my supply of A-1 Steak Sauce.
-
Mason was scary enough in the book, lying in bed in the dark watching children. He appears to be up and mobile in a wheelchair, with some sort of frame about his head. Very nasty, sort of like what happened to that sleaze journalist in Red Dragon. I was strangely spooked by the undeniable high cracked voice of Gary Oldman (why is he not listed in the credits?) saying 'Fantastic!' You can hear that his face is fucked. This is going to be one serious monster.
-
Ps: You guys are occasionally too full of film school pedantry. Slasher flick, parody, who cares, it's not unthinkable that a book (and therefore movie) can be both pulp parody and serious novel, I think Hannibal can be read on several levels, as much a smirking stylistic satire on the relationship between the image media and life, as a precise gothic horror. Hopkins always knew that Lecter was, at every point, both a unique fictional creation, and a parody of every 'monster with brains galore' of the past. He said himself that the p[erformance, undeniably fun, is little more than a tonal execrsise combining the inflections of Katherine Hepburn, HAL and Truman Capote. He's well aware of the nature of his characterisation. You guys need to get a sense of humour, Harris has it, Hopkins has it. A thing can be appalling and hilarious without collapsing.
