Dr. Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character appearing in four novels by author Thomas Harris and their film adaptations. Lecter (as portrayed by Sir Anthony Hopkins) is acknowledged by the American Film Institute to be the most memorable fictional villain in film history. [1], [2]Lecter appears in all four books in the series and their film adaptations. The first book of the series being Red Dragon (published in 1981, however the film name was changed to Manhunter, but remade in 2002 under the book title). The sequel to Red Dragon is The Silence of the Lambs, which was published in 1988, but filmed with different actors than Manhunter in 1991. The next installment in the series was Hannibal, which was published in 1999, and filmed in 2001. The latest and last book of the series, called Hannibal Rising was published in 2006, and filmed with it bearing the same title. The Hannibal Rising film is set to be released in early 2007.In Harris' novels and their film adaptations, Lecter is a brilliant and cultured criminal psychiatrist turned cannibalistic psychopath. Being a resourceful serial killer and culinary artist, Lecter is more widely known by his less-than-desirable nickname "Hannibal the Cannibal", a publicity term given to him by tabloid newspaper National Tattler, during the time that he stood trial for his crimes.Brian Cox was the first actor to portray Lecter, taking the role in Manhunter, but due to Cox declining the role of Lecter for the sequel, the actor was changed to Sir Anthony Hopkins for the filming of The Silence of the Lambs. Hopkins is the actor that most people associate with the portrayal of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, simply because he won an Academy Award for his performance in the film. Hopkins continued to portray Lecter in the following films (including the remake of Manhunter which was filmed under it's original book title Red Dragon). However, Hopkins will not reprise his role in the upcoming film Hannibal Rising, in which a younger version of Hannibal Lecter will be portrayed by Gaspard Ulliel.In a commentary on The Criterion Collection DVD version of The Silence of the Lambs, Hopkins claims the villainous computer HAL 9000 from Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as one inspiration for his interpretation of the character. Cox stated on the Manhunter DVD interview that his main inspiration for playing Lecter was Scottish serial killer Peter Manuel, who, according to Cox, "didn't have a sense of right or wrong."Harris, who rarely gives interviews, has never definitively explained his influences for creating Lecter, but real-life cannibalistic murderers such as Albert Fish and Issei Sagawa have been suggested to be possible influences. In 1992, Harris also paid a visit to the ongoing trials of Pietro Pacciani, who was suspected of being the infamous serial killer who was nicknamed the "Monster of Florence". Parts of Pacciani's killing methods were used as reference for the novel Hannibal.
