HANNIBAL
August 10, 2015  | By David Bianculli

Cinemax, 9:00 p.m. ET

 
This 2001 movie is a sequel to 1991’s Silence of the Lambs, with Anthony Hopkins continuing his role as Hannibal Lecter, but with Julianne Moore inheriting Jodie Foster’s role as FBI agent Clarice Starling. And much of the action takes place in Italy, a recent stopping place for the current, about-to-end NBC spinoff series, Hannibal. Do these two projects have anything in common? Absolutely. They’re both attempts to wring more inspiration, and profit, from the original Hannibal film – which was not the Oscar-winning Silence of the Lambs. (That would be, for the record, 1986’s Manhunter.)
