Tomorrow sees the NBC U.S premiere of what promises to be an amazing sensory, televisual feast based on the original Thomas Harris characters. Starring Mads Mikkelson, Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne the TV series promises to show us parts of one of the world’s best known fictional serial killers that we have not seen before.
Created for TV by Bryan Fuller (‘Pushing Daisies, ‘Heroes’) who also takes on the roles of writer and Executive Producer, the pilot was Directed by David Slade (‘Awake’, ‘Breaking Bad’, ‘The Twilight Saga: Eclipse’) and edited by our very own Art Jones.
Hugh Dancy plays criminal profiler ‘Will Graham’ who has an amazing ability to empathise with anyone, including serial killers. When he comes up against a killer that even he can’t decipher he calls in the help of one of the top psychiatrists in the country, Dr Hannibal Lecter. This can only make for tense, gripping viewing as the cinematically shot ‘elegant horror’ unravels.
