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 essentially the most legendary fashionable cinematic and literary characters.
Extensively thought to be a resourceful and intensely clever Silence of the Lambs character, Clarice additionally has a compelling display presence. Because of this, the character has been included in a number of motion pictures and TV reveals. Whereas Jodie Foster’s portrayal of Clarice from The Silence of the Lambs is essentially 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 convey 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 challenge 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 reveals as a author, and he created the present Pushing Daisies, which is extensively thought to be a cult traditional. Most of all, Fuller created Hannibal, a present that’s based mostly on legendary books and characters.
There are a lot of writers who can be keen to inform tales about Thomas Harris’ characters. But, it was Fuller who was capable of 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, protecting in thoughts the unimaginable issues that Fuller has completed, betting in opposition to 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-about the concept of Zendaya bringing Clarice Starling to life. Once I consider her, it’s the Spider-Man motion pictures that come to thoughts first and her function in these movies does not scream Clarice to me.
After reflecting on Bryan Fuller desirous to forged Zendaya as Clarice, nonetheless, I am not shocked that I now imagine 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 unimaginable actor who can pull from an enormous pool of emotion.
Primarily based on these previous credit and Fuller believing that Zendaya can be excellent for the function of Clarice, I now wish to see that occur. It could be even higher if she performed the character in a Hannibal revival.
