Goofs

The typeface on Lecter's copy of the Washington Post is different from what the Post uses for their headlines and text.

Share this

When Krendler visits Clairice in her basement office, she is sitting back with her feet up on the the desk. As the shots change back and forth, her crossed legs change position several times.

Share this

When Hannibal is reading newspaper headlines propped up on his piano, one of them purports to be from Washington, D.C. However, the headline uses the British phrasing, "Drugs Bust," instead of the American "Drug Bust," giving away the true source of the printed prop.

Q

Is "Hannibal" based on a book?

A

Hannibal is based on a 1999 novel of the same name by American writer Thomas Harris. The novel was adapted for the movie by American screenwriters David Mamet and Steven Zaillian. Hannibal is the film sequel to The Silence of the Lambs (1991). It was followed by Red Dragon (2002) and Hannibal Rising (2007), both adapted from novels by Thomas Harris and written as prequels to The Silence of the Lambs. Prior to The Silence of the Lambs, there was another Hannibal Lecter movie, Manhunter (1986), also based on Harris' 1981 novel, Red Dragon, but not considered to be part of The Silence of the Lambs franchise.
