A triple bill of Hannibal Lecter films. 'Red Dragon' (2002) is
Hannibal Lecter's (Anthony Hopkins) third film outing but is based
on the first Thomas Harris novel which introduced the character.
FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) has retired with his family
to Florida after a near-death experience when he tracked down and
captured Lecter. However, when a new serial killer, 'the tooth
fairy' who kills whole families, is discovered, Graham finds
himself back on the force and asking for Lecter's help. But the
tooth fairy has been writing to Lecter and Lecter cannot resist
playing each side off each other, to such an extent that Graham's
family are to be the next victims. In 'The Silence of the Lambs'
(1990) FBI officer Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) is investigating
a bizarre and gruesome series of murders, carried out by 'Buffalo
Bill'. The investigation steps up a gear when the mayor's daughter
is abducted. Starling turns for help to incarcerated psychopath
Lecter (Hopkins), who has a penchant for chewing people's faces
off. Given special privileges in exchange for information, Lecter
escapes, leaving two twisted killers on the loose. Whilst in
'Hannibal' (2001) it is ten years since the events of the previous
film and FBI agent Clarice Starling (Julianne Moore), recently in
trouble with her superiors over a bungled shoot-out, suddenly
receives a letter from the escaped Hannibal. It does not reveal his
whereabouts, but after many years of inactivity, it does announce
his interest in returning to the public domain. Clarice has the
letter analysed and begins scanning the internet, desperately
searching for any clues which will help her reach him before he
strikes again. Meanwhile, one of Hannibal's previous victims, the
horribly disfigured multi-millionaire Mason Verger, is also on the
trail of his tormentor, eager for revenge and the chance to
introduce the good doctor to his herd of specially-cultivated
carnivorous pigs.
Between 1960 and 1964, the legendary Roger Corman created eight
motion pictures that have become known as the "Poe Cycle",
elevating the careers of both himself and Vincent Price to cult
status around the world. Nearly half a century later these films
are staples in most DVD collections of anyone who admires the
cinema of the Fantastic. This is the long-awaited book that details
and analyses these highly important films. This book has been 30
years in the making! Nevermore will include: Hundreds of rare
images never seen before from each film; Commentaries from Vincent
Price and Roger Corman; Special observations by Barbara Steele,
Elizabeth Shepherd, Joyce Jameson and Hazel Court as the leading
ladies of the series; Exclusive interviews with the actors and
artisans that made the Poe films; Rare poster art from around the
world; Extra material on the Poe films made after Corman with
exclusive interviews with Gordon Hessler and Samuel Z Arkoff.
Archivist and film historian David Del Valle in collaboration with
Professor Sam Umland have fashioned a film-by-film analysis of
Roger Corman's Poe films including the Poe-inspired films made
after Corman left AIP to pursue other projects. The unique
combination of Professor Umland's insights into the literary
landscape of Poe in concert with Mr Del Valle's twenty five years
of research interviewing all the participants in the Poe series now
culminates here. This is the "dream within a dream" for aficionados
of these films which have never left the imagination of the
generation that grew up watching them.
