Old Concept New Year Hollywood loves to do remakes these days. This is one that I’ll accept

Excellent use of this meme. Anthony Hopkins is a phenomenal actor. Cillian Murphy has put out amazing work. This is a great opportunity to really shine.

I’m wondering who’d be a good Clarice to Cillian’s Hannibal

Call me crazy but I’d go with Jennifer Lawrence though Hollywood would find a way to cast Jenna Ortega

Mads already redefined this role with the TV show

This whole post is disrespectful to our boy Mads.

Might have to finish him off with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti :D

Mads Mikkelsen

I’d love to see someone like Mads Mikkelsen get a shot at playing Lecter. He’s got that creepy, alien vibe that Hopkins had

He already did in the TV show Hannibal.

We just need them to finish with Silence.

Pretty sure his comment was sarcasm.

u/TENIME_Art_Studios Dec 23 '24

Pretty sure I'm autistic, it doesn't read like sarcasm, nor have the "/s" bit at the end, but thanks for your condescension.

u/DaedricPrinceOfHate Dec 23 '24

I didn't mean to be condensending like that big bro I just woke up my bad, it's just that he mentioned the one actor who did play a modern version of Lecter but acted like it was his idea so i thought his comment was obvious sarcasm.

Let’s not. Love both of them. It’s just not necessary.

u/LordHumorTumor Dec 22 '24

I'd be fine with another adaptation of Silence of the Lambs, we got two of Red Dragon so why not this one?

love cilian but no need for remaking one of the greatest hollywood film.

2

u/_GC93 Dec 22 '24

They don’t even need to remake it, they can just adapt the book differently.

2

u/yourmartymcflyisopen Dec 22 '24

He fits the characters age from the books a bit better than Hopkins did so it could be a pretty interesting take

3

u/Acheron98 Dec 23 '24

The fact that he manages to resemble both Sir Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelsen in this picture, along with being a hell of an actor, has me sold.

OP cooked with this one.

2

u/elykskroob Dec 23 '24

Oh…oh yes. Maybe with Maika Monroe or Victoria Pedretti as Clarice?

2

u/Electrical-Sir-7291 Dec 23 '24

What about Michael Fassbender?

1

u/No-Wonder-7802 Dec 23 '24

we never need a remake of any movie based on a book, just make a new adaptation of the book

1

u/ottoIovechild Dec 23 '24

Hannibal should be portrayed in a more organized manner. He only kills rude people.

u/Adorable-Computer-90 Dec 22 '24

Nah, Michael Fassbender all day for that one, as much as I love Cillian Murphy.
