First Trailer for the Silence of the Lambs Prequel, 'Hannibal' series

First Look at Mads Mikkelsen as Hannibal Lecter in the New NBC Series

Mike will be Dr. Lecter in the new series Hannibal on NBC.

Producer Bryan Fuller states:

“It’s before he was incarcerated, so he’s more of a peacock. There is a cheery disposition to our Hannibal. He’s not being telegraphed as a villain. If the audience didn’t know who he was, they wouldn’t see him coming. What we have is Alfred Hitchcock’s principle of suspense — show the audience the bomb under the table and let them sweat when it’s going to go boom. So the audience knows who Hannibal is so we don’t have to overplay his villainy. We get to subvert his legacy and give the audience twists and turns.”

He looks scary and I love it.
