Hungry for More Hannibal?
The insatiable Dr. Lecter is coming back for more--on screen and in bookstores.
Random House announced a fall 2005 publication date Thursday for author Thomas Harris' latest Lecter novel, Behind the Mask.
In a statement, Richard Cable, managing director of the Random House Division of the Random House Group, hinted that the tale was a prequel.
"Millions of readers in 25 languages have wondered how Dr. Lecter developed his particular appetite for evil," Cable said. "This novel will satisfy their curiosity."
The book's movie rights have already been snapped up by producer Dino DeLaurentiis, who served up Hannibal and Red Dragon.
It's believed Behind the Mask is the source material for a DeLaurentiis project that has been previously referred to as The Lecter Variations.
Like Behind the Mask, The Lecter Variations is billed as a prequel.
In May, Ain't It Cool News posted a fan account of a DeLaurentiis appearance in which the legendary impresario was said to have promised his new Lecter movie would depict the bad doctor as a budding teenaged cannibal.
The story of the young Hannibal Lecter would seem to preclude Anthony Hopkins, age 66, from reacquiring his taste for fava beans and flesh.
Hopkins won the Best Actor Oscar for licking his chops as Lecter in 1991's The Silence of the Lambs. He was back in man-eating form in 2001's Hannibal and 2002's Red Dragon.
All told, the four Hannibal Lecter films, including 1986's Manhunter, the first big-screen take on Harris' Red Dragon novel, have grossed nearly $400 million, according to BoxOfficeMojo.com.
Red Dragon, the first Lecter tale, was published in 1981, followed by The Silence of the Lambs in 1988 and Hannibal in 1999.
Hannibal took such a grisly turn that Jodie Foster, the big-screen's original Clarice Starling, dropped out of the sequel. Julianne Moore took over her FBI agent badge.
Red Dragon was sans Starling altogether, but not stars. Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton costarred.
