The future of Hannibal Lecter is on TV, as series based on both Clarice Starling and Hannibal himself (as well as FBI agent Will Graham) are in development. The latter is being shepherded to the small screen by Pushing Daisies creator, Bryan Fuller, who has now found his serial killer in the forms of Mads Mikkelsen.
The actor won Best Actor at Cannes just a few weeks ago for The Hunt, but is probably best known as the villain in Casino Royale. Now he’s going to TV to play Hannibal Lecter in the NBC show, according to Deadline. Will Graham is yet to be cast, but the show will focus on his hunt for the Lecter, expanding on events touched upon in Red Dragon and The Silence Of The Lambs.
David Slade (Hard Candy, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) will direct the pilot, which is expected to start airing early next year, with NBC having already ordered 13 episodes. Whether Lecter will work on TV is another matter, especially considering US network television will limit the violence and terror it will be able to show.
There’s is no one alive who like developing movies as much as Ridley Scott. He currently has over 30 films in various stages, a few of which he’ll make, some of which will go to other directors while many will never see the light of day.

It seems Anna Faris has had enough of the Scary Movie 5 franchise and won’t be returning, as 
It turns out the biblical Noah’s sons were pretty good looking, or at least they will be in Darren Aronofsky’s biblical epic, simply titled Noah. 
Chris Columbus isn’t quite the all-conquering name he was when he helmed the first two Harry Potter movies, but producing The Help has upped his dwindling power. Now 
Prometheus doesn’t reach the US until next weekend, leaving the box office clear for Snow White And The Huntsman to take a big bite out of the US box office with $56 million in its first three days. While that’s not exceptional, for a film that isn’t a sequel it’s certainly not a bad start at all, especially considering it’s ahead of the first three day take of last week’s Men In Black III.
Before he went off to make Killing Them Softly, The Assassination of Jesse James director Andrew Dominik was developing a film about Marilyn Monroe. It was a semi-fictional take, based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel Blonde, which imagines Monroe’s thoughts.
