hannibal/silence of the lambs prequel
 

I heard on the radio today they are making a prequel of hannibal/silence of the lambs. Aprantly its gonna be about hannibals younger years. before he became the lamest slasher of moviedom. i think its going to be set in the 1940/50's.

after reading harris's Hannibal it became obvious that he believes himself to be a stephen king clone ... the book read like a screenplay ..
Nothing subtle ...all in your face .. where Hannibal is some kind of super anti-hero ..
Complete crap in my opinion ....
What a difference from Red Dragon which was actually a decent thriller.

This is what happens when a writer gets too involved with the hollywood movie making process .. instead of writing a novel they turn to writing a screen friendly treatment- it's like begging...
make me into a movie !

I also haven't seen many prequels i liked... so i think this will have a couple of strikes against it before it starts.

The Phantom Menace ruined prequels for me.

thats goddamn exactly it !!!

All it did was prove that once you know the ending ... the road there is hardly that interesting.

In every case I've seen it has seemed like a pathetic attempt to make more money .. not like there was a genuine story to tell.

Otherwise the origional movie would have started there!

those star wars prequels were a complete and utter cash grab.
Souless eye candy - just a big toy ad.

Goddamn, that was well put!!!!

Allot movie perquilles suck pretty badly in the long run, since you whats going to happen to them, and can predict whats going to happen. Like the Atamvile horror moive the oringal was pretty good, the squell whci was a prequile was dumb, since I knew what was going to happen in the end.

this has to get some kind of award for the most spelling mistakes in one post.

I thought it was shanks doing his your mind will suprise you thing again

A recent magazine article has announced that the new novel is to be called "Behind The Mask" by Thomas Harris it will be out in 2005 and the movie is to be out a year or so after that, but without Anthony Hopkins. The story starts off with Hannibal around 6 or 7 years old and ends with him in his 20's.

and after that there will be one about his parents .. and so on and so on ..
