Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
http://tvline.com/2015/01/13/hanniba...age-dolarhyde/
Richard Armitage has found a role into which he can really sink his teeth. The Hobbit actor will join NBC’s Hannibal in Season 3 in the terrifying role of Francis Dolarhyde (aka The Tooth Fairy). The main villian of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon, one book in the series on which Hannibal is based, the hulking Dolarhyde is a serial killer with a set of chompers that would make the Big Bad Wolf a little envious — and a penchant for targeting entire households for slaughter. Armitage’s gig is slated to last six episodes. :thumbsup: That is dope casting there. Like Armitage. Previous notes: Gillian Anderson is now a series regular http://tvline.com/2014/09/11/gillian...ular-season-3/ Michael Pitt will not be returning. The character is now recast with Joe Anderson as Mason Verger. http://tvline.com/2014/12/19/hanniba...-recast-mason/ and Lawrence Fishburne will reportedly not return as a series regular. No airdate for season 3 yet. But supposedly it will return around April or May, so expect Hannibal to air going into the summer like in season 1. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
So, it seems they are moving up the originally planned timeline a bit then?

While Season 3 isn't meant to play out as the the Hannibal TV series' "Red Dragon" season (that would be Season 4, if all goes according to creator Bryan Fuller's plan), Dolarhyde will be introduced in person this year. I write "in person," because Fuller has already stated (on Twitter) that the home invasion Marlowe murders that Will Graham was using as a teaching tool in the pilot episode were actually committed by Dolarhyde. So Dolarhyde coming in allows the show to circle back to that, for those wondering if that loose thread would ever get snipped. Last summer, at the San Diego Comic Con, Fuller mentioned that Dolarhyde was coming in Season 3, and that he'd debut in Episode 8. |

Well that sucks! I recall enjoying Pitt's performance. And, hopefully Fishburne will return once a certain storyline appears.
Richard Armitage is an interesting choice. So short ;) Should be interesting to see how much different they go with his version of the Tooth Fairy given the other two on screen performances of the same character. They certainly have went radically different ways on that front before. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
I initially liked the Pitt casting as Verger, but I just didn't like the direction they took the character. Verger was obviously insane, but I thought they would play him as charming in public. Instead, they made him a loon all the time. He's a disfigured mess now so the casting change is not a big deal to me.
I wonder if Margo will start pumping iron in season 3. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
I can't wait for this. Anyone know when the show starts again?

Maybe it's been too long since it aried, but I seem to remember some scenes where they had Verger with others and he was as charming as Hannibal. It was only when Verger was with those that already knew him where he was his true self.

Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
The dog days are over for Hannibal‘s Will Graham — or at least the days of spending his free time surrounded solely by canines. TVLine has learned exclusively that NBC’s acclaimed thriller is casting for the recurring role of Will’s wife Molly, a strong, vibrant thirtysomething who is not only unperturbed by her husband’s dark and occasionally tortured past — but has worked to help him overcome it. Molly, who also happens to have a 12-year-old son named Walter, “understands that Will is a good man, and her love has allowed him to rebuild himself. But when Will is asked to return to the FBI, she also urges him to try and save lives, knowing what risks this entails.” Fret not, though, Hugh Dancy’s addled profiler — last seen being literally gutted by Mads Mikkelsen’s titular sociopath — won’t be putting up an OK Cupid profile to kick off Season 3. Molly — a role that is slated to span four episodes — won’t be introduced ’til Episode 8… an installment that will leap enough years into the future to allow for the transformation in Will’s personal life. TVLine broke the news earlier this week that Season 3 will also introduce the murderous character of Francis Dolarhyde — to be played by The Hobbit‘s Richard Armitage — known to fans of Thomas Harris’ novels as The Tooth Fairy. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Interesting that Fishburne won't be a regular. I wonder if that means this season focuses more on Will Graham personally. Perhaps he continues the search for Hannibal after last season's finale, without the help of the FBI. That would especially make sense if season four covers the events of Red Dragon.

Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Last I heard Fuller said the second half of season 3 will cover Red Dragon.

Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
If there's a time jump in episode eight, I wonder if that means Hannibal will be captured in episode seven or thereabouts, and they'll then adapt Red Dragon in the five remaining episodes.
And if Fishburne isn't going to be a regular, it might mean that Will Graham will take over the mentor role for Clarice Starling when they get to Silence of the Lambs. Will isn't featured in any novels after Red Dragon, and I can't imagine they won't want to keep Hugh Dancy around. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
I think it's still up in the air if they'll be able to get the rights to Silence. MGM has the rights to the characters that originate in that book.

Sounds like they still don't have the rights to SOTL, but they're trying to get them, and if they can't they're going to do their own version of the story. When Miriam Lass was introduced, she seemed very Clarice-like. Maybe since they've given her a history with Hannibal, it would make the turn of events from the novel Hannibal with Clarice more believable. From what I understand, the hold up for SOTL is that Lifetime has an option to make a Clarice Starling television series. The various producers only have the rights to certain characters from the novels. Hannibal has the rights to any characters that originated in Red Dragon, Hannibal, and Hannibal Rising, while Lifetime has Silence of the Lambs (meaning they have exclusive rights to use Clarice Starling, Paul Krendler, and Jame Gumb but NOT Jack Crawford, Frederick Chilton, or Hannibal Lecter) while Hannibal has everyone but Starling, Krendler, and Gumb. I'm not sure how closely any repurposing of SOTL could get to the plot of that novel. I know that the original script to SOTL, before MGM got the rights to the characters from DEG, was a direct adaption of the novel, but had to change the names of Lecter, Crawford, and Chilton. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Well, shiiiiiiit....
"At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, I asked NBC's Robert Greenblatt about Hannibal and he replied, " I thought we had said this publicly, maybe we hadn't... Hannibal's going to be back in the summer. It's a show we love. It's been critically acclaimed by a few of you in the room, if not many. We love it. We also love summer." ign.com |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Dammit

Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
I'm fine with it airing in the summer. There really isn't a great timeslot to put it in right now and it would get buried with the other competition. And I don't think NBC wants to bury it on Fridays again.

Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Very good points, but ya see, I want my Hannibal now.
|
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Whatevs. Summer sounds better to me. Less on TV.
|
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
summer sucks, but is great because there is a such good quantity of programming then, it will stand out.

1st trailer for season 3. No embed link, so you have to see it on EW.com |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
Here's the Hannibal Season 3 trailer from Youtube.
I'm excited for this to premiere during the summer. It looks like it'll be great watching Will hunt for Hannibal in Europe. |
Re: Hannibal (NBC) -- Season 3 News, Castings etc.
the producers are more concern about the story script by writer.
