5 Suggested Premises For Hannibal Lecter's TV Foray

Earlier today, we learned that Bryan Fuller is writing a television project about Hannibal Lecter for French TV studio Gaumont. The one-hour drama called Hannibal will center on the early days of the cannibalistic serial killer — the Thomas Harris character made famous by Anthony Hopkins in The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Red Dragon — when he faced off against FBI agent Will Graham. While that sounds more interesting than that Sex and the City prequel series that the CW is developing, Movieline HQ has thought of five more entertaining television projects for Lecter that could not only land him a few Emmys, but might help the deranged doctor shed his bad rap and worm his way into the couch potato hearts of Americans. Barefoot Cannibal Format: Cooking About the Show: Hannibal Lecter is back and this time it’s to share his knowledge of gourmet cuisine! Hannibal throws open the door of his Florence home for delicious food, friends and as always, borderline frightening festivities. Not for the faint of stomach — or vegetarians! Sample Episode: Inspired by his stay in Florence, Hannibal creates the perfect Florence dinner party. There’s mouth-watering slow-roasted liver paired with fava beans and a nice chianti, inspired by a dish prepared for a census taker who once tried to test him abroad. Plus fantastic tips on how to create the perfect Florence dinner party setting (think classical music, broken mirrors). Then, Hannibal gets into the hot seat to share his Florence cooking secrets in Ask Hannibal. Hannibal & Clarice Format: Sitcom About the Show: Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling live together in an apartment in New York. He’s a gay psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. She’s a straight FBI agent. Somehow, they make it work! Sample Episode: Hannibal asks Clarice to be the mother of his child. Cher guest stars as God. Hannibal Lecter Live! Format: Variety show About the Show: An American late-night talk show and the first television series hosted by a known cannibal and convicted murderer. Each night, Lecter is joined by his sidekick Kevin Eubanks — a late-night vet who spent 15 years alongside Jay Leno — and his house band the Starlings. Sample Episode: After a monologue and a segment of Hannibal’s favorite remote sketch, “Cannibal-walking” (in which Hannibal pokes fun at unsuspecting passersby outside his studio), Dr. Lecter speaks with Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi about her white trash upbringing in New Jersey. Later, Louis C.K. performs a stand-up routine. Law & Order: Cannibal Intent Format: Live-action drama About the Show: Law & Order: Cannibal Intent centers on the investigations of the Major Case Squad in a fictionalized version of the New York City Police Department. In the style of the original Law & Order, episodes are often “ripped from the headlines.” Hannibal Lecter stars as Senior Detective of a unit that specializes in cannibalization crimes. Kathryn Erbe co-stars as Lecter’s partner Eames, whose pragmatic investigative skills balance out Lecter’s often eccentric interrogation methods. Sample Episode: Detectives Lecter and Eames investigate the assault of a night club dancer who has been crudely lobotomized, leaving her alive but with permanent brain damage. Neil Patrick Harris guest-stars as the primary suspect, an introverted, lonely young man whom Lecter comes to empathize with over the course of the investigation. Cannabilizing the Kardashians Format: Reality About the Show: This spin-off series follows the personal and professional lives of the Kardashian/Jenner family, much like the original E! series Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The only difference is that at the end of each episode, notorious movie cannibal Hannibal Lecter feasts on the most annoying family member. Sample Episode: Bruce is concerned when he discovers Kendall is taking birth control. Kim develops a rash on her body, and realizes she has inherited more than she bargained for from her mother. Hannibal eats Khloe. · Hannibal Lecter TV Series in Development [ComingSoon.net]

Rumor: Henry Cavill's Too-Sexy 'Man of Steel' Suit Might have to Go

There is lots of discuss how hot Henry Cavill is incorporated in the skintight 'Man of Steel' suit, but his pants-less look is tugging focus for the wrong reasons. Showbiz Spy reviews this too many comments about Superman's super package are earning producers re-think the whole costume. Doubtful, but let us have a great time. "All everyone's speaking about is Superman's crotch and individuals missing pants," an un named movie insider informs the website. "The brand new look was designed to create new curiosity about a vintage character however the way situations are going Superman might be instructed to get his pants back on. It's either that or 'Man of Steel' may be the first R ranked Superman movie!" Uh-huh. And this is actually the part where we avoid riffing wrongly about the film's title. We'll just observe that the region appears rather conspicuously lit. (We are not looking. We swear.) What is your opinion? May be the suit too sexy for Superman?

Bon Jovi Sings For NY Firefighters In 9/11 Encore

NEW YORK, N.Y. -- Rocker Jon Bon Jovi returned to a Manhattan fire house Wednesday to pay tribute to firefighters marking the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The New Jersey native was filmed singing America The Beautiful by an NBC television crew preparing for a special NFL Kickoff 2011: Back to Football show Saturday. The joint NFL Network/NBC Sports production features football, music, and a tribute to 9/11 first responders. He sang the same song for a performance that aired nationally on Sept. 23, 2001 prior to the kickoff of the first NFL games after 9/11. Bon Jovi said in an interview after Wednesdays performance that it was as moving this time as it was then. Bon Jovi said firefighters who were there a decade ago, as well as police officers from a nearby precinct, came to the taping at Engine Co. 8, Ladder 2. He said he felt some of the same camaraderie that he felt in 2001. Bon Jovi said he was in his New Jersey homes gym on Sept. 11, 2001 watching the news with his wife when the towers were hit by hijacked planes. He said later that day he joined others at the shore in Seabright, N.J. in Monmouth County, home to many of the victims. I want the country of Sept. 12th again, when everybody came together, he said. We said wed never forget and now we can live up to it. Bon Jovi has spent three decades touring with his songs, which include Livin on a Prayer and Its My Life. The band has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Copyright 2011 by Associated Press. All rights reserved.This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

'Twilight''s Beautifully Scarred Tinsel Korey on Filming 'Breaking Dawn'

You know her as Emily, Sam's beautifully scarred fiancee in the 'Twilight' movies, but you probably wouldn't recognize Tinsel Korey walking down the street. While her 'Twilight' co-stars are constantly fawned over by diehard fans, Korey says that she can walk around incognito, since her character is somewhat disguised by the bangs and the scar. Beyond 'Twilight,' Korey is best known as an indie movie queen. She garnered accolades for her role as Blue Girl in Carl Bessai's 'Unnatural & Accidental.' She's poised to wow audiences again in 'Stained,' which is being released on DVD on Aug. 30. This time around, she channels her inner dark side to play a schizophrenic serial killer. Despite all of her serious roles, Korey is actually quite a goofball. She'll have a chance to showcase her silly side in the upcoming flick 'Fishing Naked,' which costars her 'Twilight' buddy Bronson Pelletier. Moviefone caught up with the Canadian-born, L.A.-based actress to get the lowdown on shooting 'Breaking Dawn,' learning stunts from Kevin Sorbo and why she was hand-picked to play a killer. How did you get involved with 'Stained'? My demo reel came across director Karen Lam's table. When I was offered the role, they said you're going to play a schizophrenic serial killer. I'm like, what did she see from my reel? Apparently when I'm smiling it looks like everything is great, and when I'm not I look like I can kill somebody. So I don't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing! How did you prepare for it? You have to go into a dark place to play a character like that so I was listening to the kind of music that triggered those kinds of emotions. It was really interesting to delve into that part of your psyche. No kidding! What kind of music were you listening to? [Laughs] Actually, it was My Chemical Romance. It's a pretty emo band. 'Breaking Dawn' is coming out soon. What was it like filming that? Bittersweet. Obviously it's great to be back on set and see everybody, but I knew it was the last movie. I remember being at dinner and just looking around and it was like, 'Are we all going to be friends when this is finished?' I compare movies to summer camp. You have these great relationships and you bond, and then when summer ends you're all like, 'We have to keep in touch!' Then life moves on and you go your separate ways. How has the dynamic on set changed between 'New Moon' and 'Breaking Dawn'? Was everyone more relaxed and comfortable with each other? We see each other at 'Twilight' conventions and stuff like that, so we've gotten to interact a lot more than you would on another movie where it finishes and you don't see each other. So that strengthened our bond as a wolf pack unit. You could definitely tell that the movie had changed, as in the budget and the level of movie. When we were filming 'New Moon' the hype was really just starting to pick up and I think that 'Twilight' had just been released internationally, so it wasn't the crazy hoopla that it is right now. Obviously that was intensified by 'Eclipse,' and then 'Breaking Dawn' was another level. That's really interesting. Are there any tangible examples you can think of? For example, were you having caviar at the craft services table or anything crazy like that? [Laughs] Nothing crazy like that, because obviously they want to spend the funds on making the best movie possible. There's more people. The security was really intense, because we've had incidents. Like on 'Eclipse' these fans somehow made it onto set. It was actually kind of funny because they obviously had the plan to make it on to set, but then they didn't know what to do when they got on set. So they were standing there and the crew and all of us are staring at them staring at us and everyone's like so ... what now? [Laughs] So security was definitely bumped up. Are you getting approached by a lot of 'Twilight' fans now? I don't get recognized, especially when I don't have my bangs. I rarely tell people that I'm an actor in general, but when it does come up they say 'Oh, what character do you play?' When I say I'm the girl with the scar they just stare at my face and say, 'You look really different!' I'm like, 'Yeah, because half my face isn't covered with a scar!' I think people are expecting to see Emily and not me, so I actually don't get recognized. I know that you just released your first single, what was that process like? It was amazing! I got to work with Stevie Salas, who has worked with Justin Timberlake and Mick Jagger. He brought this all-star team of musicians like Pink's drummer and Marcus Curiel from P.O.D. and I got to see his magic unfold. What else do you have coming up? I understand you just did something with Kevin Sorbo? Yes, it's a movie called 'Avarice.' It's a sci-fi thriller. It was an independent movie so we didn't have a stunt person, so we're doing the scene and Kevin Sorbo was teaching me stunts, and I was like, cool, Hercules is teaching me stunts right now! What kind of stuff was he teaching you? Were you jumping off buildings or anything like that? I wish. At some point in my career! No, it was just punches and hits and getting thrown around and stuff like that. And then I'm actually doing a movie in September with Bronson Pelletier, who is in 'Twilight,' and it also has Elyse Levesque from 'Stargate Universe.' It's a comedy. It's sort of an 'American Pie' with a supernatural twist. I do all of these really intense movies, and that's awesome, but sometimes I just want to laugh. I like comedy and I think it's one of my strong points as an actor, but for some reason I think people just see me being serious, which I'm not at all. Is there anything else you'd like to mention? For up-and-coming actors or anyone who wants acting advice, I started a Tumblr page and I do everything from Acting 101 to 401, and it goes in steps like how to find an agent, how to do headshots and stuff like that. I always get the question how do I get into acting, so I made a page for it.

5 Performances That May Surprise You This Fall

As summer draws to a close, it’s nice to remember what’s in store for moviegoers as the autumnal equinox approaches: films with characters you care about. Deliver me from the superheroes, sweet season! As part of our extensive fall preview, we’ve picked the five most promising-yet-under-the-radar performances to anticipate in the coming months. Please straighten your tie when approaching the cross-dressing Glenn Close. Seth Rogen in 50/50 Of all the Apatow players, Seth Rogen is the one whose knack for dry punchlines and snark seems to conceal layers of interesting depth and sensitivity. (Take for instance, his character Ken Miller from Freaks and Geeks, who became a powerhouse in the last few episodes.) In 50/50, he plays the buddy of a cancer-stricken Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hopefully he’ll lend the same amount of self-aware cynicism to the character that he brought to Funny People. Alan Alda in Tower Heist Though Alda is lovely in lite romantic comedies like the old Bernard Slade adaptation Same Time, Next Year, he is even greater as a total bastard. Who can deny that his greatest screen moments are in Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors, where he plays the pompous Lester, and The Aviator, where he plays the blowhard Senator Owen Brewster (and received his only Oscar nomination)? We’ll be seeing more of the dickish Alda in the upcoming comedy/actioner Tower Heist, where he’ll play a Bernie Madoff type who screws his Trumpian underlings (Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, among others) out of their life savings. Bring on the condescending sneers! John Goodman in The Artist The grandeur of Michel Hazanavicius’s silent, black-and-white ode to classic Hollywood is dazzling enough — as, apparently, are the lead performances by Gable-lookalike Jean Dujardin and Claudette Colbert-conjurer Brnice Bejo — but it’s John Goodman pounding his fist as Al Zimmer that really brings back a lost world of screen stars. His grit is very Charles Laughton — an Oscar winner with no true contemporary parallel. Unless, of course, the flawless Goodman is up to the task. Armie Hammer in J. Edgar I can’t say that the angle Clint Eastwood is taking on J. Edgar Hoover’s sexual orientation sounds fascinating (or even worth filming), but I’m still intrigued by the part of Hoover’s alleged paramour, Associate FBI director Clyde Tolson. While DiCaprio is sure to give us scrunched-up face acting as Hoover, the part of Tolson seems destined to be more subtly complicated; a little more knowing. Armie Hammer’s turn as the entitled Winkelvi in The Social Network may set him up for the poised nature of Tolson, but I’m thrilled to watch him add sensitivity and ’50s polish to that act. Mia Wasikowska in Albert Nobbs We’ve thought long and hard about the implications of a Best Actress faceoff between Meryl Streep, for her trailer-mesmerizing turn in The Iron Lady, and Glenn Close, who is seriously gunning for her first statue with the gender-bending star role in Albert Nobbs. We haven’t dwelled on Close’s co-star Mia Wasikowska yet, who plays the male-disguised Nobbs’ lady friend Helen. Wasikowska’s been verging on true critical acclaim with fine performances in The Kids are All Right and an astounding arc on In Treatment, and now it appears she may have the august, difficult part to pull that adulation together.
