Hugh Dancy Will Be Will Graham In NBC’s ‘Hannibal’ I can’t really justify my curiosity aboutHannibal, the NBC series that will act as a prequel to films likeManhunterandThe Silence of the Lambs. (It will act as a new prequel, that is, since we’ve already had a feature film prequel calledHannibal Rising.) We’ve seen this story before. We’ve seen it done pretty well.

You couldn’t swing a dead cat without hitting a found footage/faux documentary chiller (note: please don’t swing cats, alive or dead; it’s mean)....
