Look! It’s Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter!

In case you don’t know, NBC and Bryan Fuller – the man responsible for Pushing Daisies, many of the best episodes of Heroes and the forthcoming failed reboot of The Munsters, Mockingbird Lane – is working on Hannibal, a prequel to both Silence of the Lambs and one of my favourite movies, Manhunter, in which everyone’s favourite cannibal serial killer Hannibal Lecter/Lecktor pals around with his future nemesis, Will Graham, solving crimes for the FBI.

Starring Mads Mikkelsen from Casino Royale as Hannibal Lecter, Hugh Dancy as Will Graham, Laurence Fishburne as Graham’s boss Jack Crawford and Gina Torres as Crawford’s wife, it’s due next year and here are some of the first pictures from it. I’m not sure about Hannibal’s dress sense – maybe it’s set in the 70s? – but it’s exciting to see him all the same.
