Guest tank_abbott Report post Posted February 28, 2003 I was watching an old tape this week, and on it was a commercial for "Hannibal Lectar" coming to NBC May 3rd. The tape is from 1991. The commercial had a twenty something male looking at the camera with darkness behind him. What was this? Anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Dunno...maybe after Silence hit so big they decided to show Manhunter (later remade as Red Dragon) and just give it the Hannibal tagline. Who knows Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lethargic Report post Posted February 28, 2003 Up until the Manhunter DVD came out my version of Manhunter was taped from NBC. I don't know if that was it or not but it's possible. I think if there was ever a Hannibal series we'd all know about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 28, 2003 I checked IMDB.com and there's no mention of a Hannibal tv show, and if there was one they would know about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tank_abbott Report post Posted March 1, 2003 Maybe it was Manhunter, but i own that movie and the guy didn't look familiar to me. If anyone has the last SNME on NBC with the 20 man Battle Royal/ Sgt vs Warrior etc, the commercial is on during a break in the show Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 1, 2003 A guy named Brian Cox played Hannibal in Manhunter, didn't do a bad job by any means. But Hopkins just owned the part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest MDH257 Report post Posted March 29, 2003 NBC aired Manhunter to capitalize on the success of Silence of the Lambs and renamed it Red Dragon: The Curse of Hannibal Lecter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted March 29, 2003 Boo Yah! Figured I was right...thought they would sneak one past people after Silence hit huge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted March 29, 2003 Curse of Hannibal Lecter... what is he a mummy now? Manhunter was the best of the four movies with him anyway, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
