Ridley Scott's 'Hannibal' Finally Gets Its Due 25 Years On

Ridley Scott's 2001 film Hannibal, an adaptation of Thomas Harris's long-awaited sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, was a box-office hit but long considered underrated. Producer Dino De Laurentiis optioned the novel for $10 million before it was even published. Twenty-five years on, the film is being reassessed as a bold, bloody thriller deserving of greater recognition.
