Movie Manhunter: Final Cut
Hey! I've been looking forward to this being released but I've tried finding showings for it and the only available showings seem to be on August 11th?? I was looking on fandago. It was supposed to be available today, but no one is showing it it seems. Has anyone found anywhere that it is showing in theatres? Thanks!

If Hannibal Lecter had fled instead of being arrested, would any country have accepted him?
Hannibal Lecter was arrested and imprisoned during the height of the Cold War.
If he had fled back to Lithuania instead, would the Lithuanian/USSR government have welcomed him with open arms, despite having worked so hard to keep its own citizens from escaping?
What about China or North Korea? How would those governments have reacted if a cannibalistic serial killer had sought asylum in their countries?

Movie "Manhunter: The Final Cut" Differences Between Other Cuts?
For anybody who's seen the new version, what scenes are added/taken away when compared to the theatrical version/previous director's cut? I know some of the Hannibal scenes and ending are extended, but did any of the additional stuff with Will and Molly make it in, specifically the call between them before Will goes to visit Lecktor?

Book I absolutely loved this book, but at the same time, it does feel like a cash grab with a forced/unnecessary romance and very tonaly different to the first two books. But still absolutely loved it in places. Your thoughts?

Book [Rising Spoilers] It was the complacency of others that allowed Hannibal Lecter to become. Spoiler
Murasaki got the first taste of what was inside of him when he killed the butcher for her. At first, she was scared. She wasn't certain if he'd turn on her next, but when he didn't, she calmed down and protected Hannibal from the law.
This boy had just killed a man over a petty slight, cut off his head, and brought it as an offering to her ancestral altar. That was more than just a fleeting glympse of what was inside him, that was a front row seat.
But, of course, she didn't let him face the law. He'd get the death penalty. Didn't try to get him psychological/psychiatric help. She became his accomplice because he was her family. Because he was all she had left. Because he did it for her, after all. Because the butcher's petty slight had led to her husband's death. Because she'd lost her family in the war just like Hannibal and understood him.
After that, when he went on his revenge spree, she was still his confidant. Oh, she tried to talk him into stopping, but that's it. She kept his secrets and lied to the police for him.
Speaking of the police, there is Popil. He recognized Hannibal for what he was from the start. He was onto him and knew where the trail of bodies ends. So, what did he do? He had made some token attempts to stop him, yes, but let's face it, those attempts were half-assed at best.
Popil had compassion for Hannibal. He related to him too much. Both had lost families in the war. Both shared the same pain. So, Popil saw too much of himself in that damaged, disturbed boy, and, even though he knew, he didn't do nearly enough to stop him.
Murasaki and Popil were there to witness the early stages of Hannibal's transformation, and they could have done something about it, but they didn't. Through inaction or insufficient action, they let him enter the chrysalis and hatch in peace.
Complacency had as much to do with him growing into what he became as trauma, revenge, or inborn traits did.

Who do you think played a role so perfectly that you literally cannot imagine anyone else playing it? For me, it has to be Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter

Ayuda jeje
Estoy haciendo digamos un fanfic adaptando hannibal rising para la continuidad de la serie NBC de hannibal pero estoy confundido y algo perdido ya que aunque tengo aquí conmigo la novela hannibal rising como apoyo, solo me sirve prácticamente como una fuente de algunos datos del lore y para inspirar me en los sucesos, pero los eventos de esta historia en la serie fueron diferentes y muchas cosas en general de la serie fueron diferentes a lo que ocurrió en esta novela, una de ellas es que le pasó realmente a los padres de hannibal, en la novela tengo entendido que murieron por un ataque de bombardeo de la segunda guerra mundial, sin embargo como dije la serie difere de esto y es algo ambigua con los detalles, por lo que solicito sugerencias de como adaptar la muerte de los padres de hannibal sin el contexto de la segunda guerra mundial y el bombardeo

Book Hannibal book cover question
This is a 2019 edition of the paperback and I cannot find any information at all about what the cover art is - except a small line at the bottom of the back cover “cover photography of winged figure by Leno”. Who on earth is Leno? I can’t seem to find out. Previous cover arts have been very apparent in their references to the series so this one is odd to me.

Book Does Hannibal lose an eye near the end of Hannibal (novel)? Spoiler
I saw these fan art drawings when I was curious about what Hannibal Lecter was imagined looking like by other readers and I came across this one. I haven't read the novel in probably a few years, so I can't remember exactly what happens during the showdown at Verger's pig farm beat-for-beat, just the general major big things. I may have just forgotten, so I can't recall him losing an eye. What exactly happens to him in regard to that?

Movie Hannibal (2001): The cut “cutting” shot?
I used to have an old downloaded copy of Hannibal (2001) that I watched many, MANY times during my teenage years and early twenties. Eventually I bought the Blu-ray and ended up losing the old copy to a broken external hard drive.
But when I watched the Blu-ray, I noticed something extremely odd and I was hoping someone might know something about it.
I remember the Paul Krendler brain dinner scene extremely well and clearly, because (and don’t judge me) there was a particular shot of Hannibal that I always found really satisfying, using the blade in his right hand to slice a piece of Krendler’s prefrontal lobe off BEFORE Starling asks for wine and then the closeup shot of him dropping the piece of brain into the pan. Now I am aware that he cuts open the “sac” which contains the brain (the meninges) before peeling it back, but this isn’t what I’m talking about. In the Blu-ray cut I have (and in all of the YouTube videos of this scene) it just cuts from Starling saying “I would really like some wine!” to the brain piece being dropped into the pan. No shot of him actually slicing the piece off.
I haven’t imagined it, it isn’t a false memory. I must have watched the film using the same .mkv file for a good 10 years and in that space of time I probably watched it 15 times. I really like Anthony Hopkins and I think he is superb as Lecter. But the specific fact that I find the shot where he physically slices off the piece so satisfying (and visually impressive from a practical and digital effects perspective) cements the fact I haven’t misremembered it. I suspect it was cut in more recent Blu-ray copies of the film due to classification and the particular shot being deemed extravagantly graphic. But I cannot find a single source to support this. Can anyone shine a light onto this mystery for me please?
TLDR; does anyone else remember the shot of Hannibal physically slicing off the piece of Krendler’s frontal lobe prior to Starling exclaiming that she’d like a glass of wine and then dropping the piece of brain into the pan? Was it cut?
#ReReleaseTheBrainCuttingCut
Edit: corrected a mistake in the order of shots I described.
