So I get to say, in a nice dignified way, that I wasn't available when that movie was being shot ...

Hannibal is a 2001 American psychological horror crime thriller film directed by Ridley Scott and based on the 1999 novel by Thomas Harris. A sequel to the 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs, the plot follows disgraced FBI special agent Clarice Starling as she attempts to apprehend cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter before his surviving victim, Mason Verger, captures him. Anthony Hopkins reprises his role as Lecter, while Julianne Moore replaces Jodie Foster as Starling and Gary Oldman plays Verger. Ray Liotta, Frankie R. Faison, Giancarlo Giannini, and Francesca Neri also star. During the time period in which Will was prosecuted and treated as the Copycat Killer, he was accused of all the murders attributed to the copycat (in fact - Hannibal Lecter). I am who I have always been; the scales have fallen away from my eyes. I can see you now." (To Lecter)

Did you know? According to Polybius and Livy, Hannibal's father Hamilcar Barca made the 9-year-old Hannibal dip his hand in blood and swear an oath of hatred against Rome. He moved around a lot during his childhood and was "always the stranger" at his new schools. His family was poor. Following the release of The Silence of the Lambs, Harris spent several years writing a sequel novel. Foster and The Silence of the Lambs director Jonathan Demme initially planned to return for the sequel, but they and screenwriter Ted Tally declined because they found it too lurid. Scott became attached while directing Gladiator (2000), and signed on after reading the script pitched by Dino De Laurentiis, who had produced Manhunter (1986), the first Lecter film. David Mamet and Steven Zaillian wrote the screenplay, and principal photography commenced in May 2000, lasting sixteen weeks. Taste of success". The Independent. London. 20 February 2001.

It was unclear if Jodie Foster ( Clarice Starling) and Anthony Hopkins ( Hannibal Lecter) would reprise their respective roles for which they won Academy Awards in The Silence of the Lambs ( Best Actress/ Best Actor). Both Hopkins and Foster had expressed interest. [9] It became apparent that the producers and the studio could do without one of the original "stars" and would go on to find a replacement. The withdrawal of both Foster and Hopkins could possibly have been terminal for the project, however. De Laurentiis confirmed this after the film's release: "First and foremost, I knew we had no movie without Anthony Hopkins." [15] Involvement of Jodie Foster [ edit ] Even though Will never explicitly confirms it, it is safe to assume he feels some level of romantic (and sexual) attraction towards Hannibal. This is shown in a multitude of ways, such as Will's desire to run away with Hannibal (and eventually doing so), Will admitting that he feels the most known and seen with Hannibal, and their physical intimacy with one another (as well as their undeniable sexual tension). Hannibal loves Will unconditionally, and the latter seems to be aware of this (albeit in denial), even before he asks Bedelia. Will struggles with giving in to his urges, whether it be a desire to kill or a desire to be with Hannibal, all the while knowing Hannibal is the only person who would accept him despite it all. Will fights these urges until the Season 3 finale, in which he gives in to all of his suppressed desires at once by killing the Red Dragon with Hannibal and accepting (and seemingly reciprocating) Hannibal's feelings.
