Zachary Quinto will be Hannibal Lecter in the new 'HANNIBAL' TV series


Wow, Zachary loves him so dark roles. He just landed the role of Hannibal in the new (possible) NBC series based on the 'Silence of the Lambs' killer.

MTV Geek reports:
NBC has announced that they'd like to be in the Dr. Lecter business with actor Zachary Quinto, developing a series centered on the role made famous by Thomas Harris's novels and Sir Anthony Hopkins' performance in one great film, one interesting but over-the-top film, and one movie directed by Brett Ratner where Ralph Fiennes hilariously eats an entire painting. MGM attempted to get a new franchise going with the character a few years back with little success in Hannibal Rising, an extended origin story that didn't do much for anyone involved. So the character could do for a win.
This could a stand out event and a big push for Zachary's career.

I have no doubt Zachary Quinto can be a better Hannibal Lecter than Anthony Hopkins, and that's saying a lot. But please, Zach, don't let yourself get typecast.
