THUD: SOON YOU’LL BE ASKING “WHO GOT EATEN ON HANNIBAL THIS WEEK?”

This is a stupid fucking idea. Lecter has made a lot of people a lot of money but I'm sad at how much the one monster that I was able to view its birth with my own eyes has been driven so hard into the ground. Such a shame.

Fuck this.

Instead, they should have made a cooking show with Hopkins as Lecter. "Today on 'Lecter cooks' ... Tom Arnold!". Further episodes of season 1 may have
 

Sarah Palin
Chris Brown

The Situation
Carrot Top

Rob Schneider
Sinead O Connor

Charlie Sheen

Katherine Heigl
Nick Cannon

Series special: Shia LaBeouf

A reality hit series, I tell you. I'd watch it.

This'll air on TNT with Alan Ruck as Lecter and Colin Hanks as Graham.

I love the novels of Thomas Harris, and generally enjoy all of the Hopkins films (with some reservations, at least for the two sequels). Unfortunately this just seems like it's destined to disappoint, and will potentially serve to further homogenize one of film's most compelling monsters. I really don't think a DEXTERization of Hannibal is what anyone needs, but oh well

I'd rather it just follow Hannibal on his day to day life as he eats rude people (his favorite kind of victim)...........

Episode 1 - Hannibal eats a man who butts in line at the grocery store.

Episode 2 - Hannibal eats a couple of teens who can't shut up and leave their phones alone in a movie theater.

Episode 3 - Hannibal cooks the bitch who cut him off two intersections back.

Episode 4 - Hannibal barbeques some asshole at the next table who is treating his waiter like shit.

Episode 5 - Hannibal is constipated from eating too many damn people.

We don't even need to see the murder.  Just show the rudeness and crudeness on display, cut to an annoyed Hannibal............then skip ahead to him eating at the dinner table with a laugh track playing.  Might as well turn this shit into a sitcom because there is NO WAY I will be able to take it seriously.  Go ahead and have Michael C. Hall cameo in an episode where they are driving around together having paper-rock-scissors battles over who gets to kill the next asshole that crosses their path.

In all seriousness though, this is an absolutely terrible idea.  Manhunter is a decent flick.  The Silence of the Lambs is a classic.  Hannibal is an interesting sequel.  Red Dragon is a solid adaptation of my favorite book in the series.  Hannibal Rising is a piece of shit.  They need to stop making Lecter films and Harris needs to write something else for a change.  I'll be shocked if he doesn't end up being directly involved with this show...............if it ever sees the light of day.
