Plot Summary for
Hannibal Rising (2007)

This is the story of the monster Hannibal Lecter's formative years. These experiences as a child and young adult led to his remarkable contribution to the fields of medicine, music, painting and forensics. We begin in World War II at the medieval castle in Lithuania built by Dr. Lecter's forebear, Hannibal the Grim. The child Hannibal survives the horrors of the Eastern Front and escapes the grim Soviet aftermath to find refuge in France with the widow of his uncle, mysterious and beautiful Japanese descended from Lady Murasaki Shikibu, author of the Tale of Genji. Her kind and wise attentions help him understand his unbearable recollections of the war. Remembering, he finds the means to visit the outlaw predators that changed him forever as they battened on helpless during the collapse of the Eastern Front. Hannibal helps these war criminals toward self-knowledge even as we see his own nature become clear to him.

Based on Thomas Harris' upcoming new book of the same name, this prequel shows a young Hannibal Lecter in three different phases of his life from childhood in Lithuania to his ten years in England up to his time in Russia before his capture by FBI agent Will Graham in Red Dragon.

Now thats a face only a mother could love.

Actually i've seen all of them so far but as usual they aren't as good as the first one with jodie foster.

Nice.

I was just curious, how many Hannibal Lecter films are there?

The ones that I saw are:
-The Silence of the Lambs
-Hannibal
-Red Dragon

And I agree with wildchild that among these three, I like The Silence of the Lambs too.

Also, will Anthony Hopkins play a major role on this "Hannibal Rising"? I doubt it if they plan to make Hopkins look younger...
