The creator of TV’s Hannibal desires to make a sequence with Zendaya as Clarice Starling. The present Hannibal was impressed by Thomas Harris’ novels, 1981’s Crimson Dragon, 1999’s Hannibal, and 2006’s Hannibal Rising. Those self same books launched Dr. Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling, two of probably the most legendary trendy cinematic and literary characters.
Broadly considered a resourceful and intensely intelligent Silence of the Lambs character, Clarice additionally has a compelling display presence. Consequently, the character has been included in a number of films and TV exhibits. Whereas Jodie Foster’s portrayal of Clarice from The Silence of the Lambs is probably the most well-known model, Julianne Moore and Rebecca Breeds have additionally memorably introduced her to life.
In an interview with ScreenRant’s Ash Crossan for Mud Bunny at TIFF, Hannibal’s creator, Bryan Fuller, has now revealed who he desires to deliver his model of Clarice to life. Throughout his promotional tour for Mud Bunny, a horror film that stars Hannibal’s Mads Mikkelsen, Fuller talked about his legendary psychological horror present that ended too quickly.
Whereas talking to ScreenRant, Fuller was requested about the opportunity of Hannibal returning. In response, Fuller revealed that he dreamed of making a present that might function Mikkelsen’s model of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and a model of Clarice portrayed by Zendaya.
ScreenRant: At one level, wasn’t there speak of extra Hannibal?
Bryan Fuller: My dream venture is to do a restricted sequence of Silence of the Lambs with Mads and Zendaya as Clarice Starling. If I might put something out into the universe, I might put that into the universe.
What This Means For Dr. Hannibal Lecter And Clarice Starling’s Onscreen Future
As a tv author and producer, Bryan Fuller hworked on a number of Star Trek shows as a author, and he created the present Pushing Daisies, which is extensively considered a cult basic. Most of all, Fuller created Hannibal, a present that’s primarily based on legendary books and characters.
There are various writers who could be keen to inform tales about Thomas Harris’ characters. But, it was Fuller who was in a position to persuade the rightsholders and the powerbrokers at NBC to permit him to place his stamp on the legendary franchise. Not solely that, Hannibal was a present that was imbued with its creators’ imaginative and prescient.
The logical actuality is that Fuller bringing a present to life with Zendaya portraying Clarice is unlikely. Nonetheless, retaining in thoughts the unbelievable issues that Fuller has completed, betting towards him to make his newest imaginative and prescient a actuality feels unwise.
Our Take On Zendaya Portraying Clarice Starling
Earlier than Fuller’s new feedback, I by no means thought of the concept of Zendaya bringing Clarice Starling to life. Once I consider her, it’s the Spider-Man films that come to thoughts first and her position in these movies does not scream Clarice to me.
After reflecting on Bryan Fuller eager to solid Zendaya as Clarice, nonetheless, I am not stunned that I now consider he noticed one thing I did not. Because the star of the present Euphoria and the film Challengers, Zendaya has confirmed that she is an unbelievable actor who can pull from an enormous pool of emotion.
Primarily based on these previous credit and Fuller believing that Zendaya could be excellent for the position of Clarice, I now need to see that occur. It might be even higher if she performed the character in a Hannibal revival.
