What do you think? Are you a fan of The Silence of the Lambs? Will you check out Clarice?
I’m so excited for “Clarice”!!! I’m a huge fan of the Thomas Harris novels. I’ve watched all of the Hannibal Lecture movies at least 20 times.
It will fail: “executive producers Alex Kurtzman”
It might work if they keep it relatively dark, with some form of appearance by Lecter along the way.
Choosing the lead is critical and unfortunately Rebecca Breeds just doesn’t have the right vibe for me.
I am looking forward to this series. Let’s hope they don’t stray too far from the original.
Nope, won’t be watching this at all!
Loved the movies, I’ll give it a look and see how close to the movies it tracks.
God forbid they cast an actual Southern girl to play her. This woman’s an Aussie.
I would love to watch the show. Especially if it’s well done. Hopefully they will try to make it match up well with the movie. If you remember the Terminator TV series I liked it better than the last couple of movies.
