"Hannibal" television series has been cancelled after three seasons but showrunner Bryan Fuller is still not giving up. Since the recent Comic-Con San Diego, speculations about turning Hannibal Lecter's saga into a feature film have widely circulated. Now, fans will be thrilled as producers are allegedly contemplating the possibility of a reboot.
After three exhilarating seasons of "Hannibal," Fuller told The Hollywood Reporter that there's a possibility of a feature film, revealing that executive producer Martha De Laurentiis is apparently looking for ways to fund the project.
"Martha De Laurentiis is looking into financing for a film. I'm still hoping that we get to tell that story in some way," Fuller said. "There is something in the novel 'Hannibal' that has not been done in any of the adaptations and I would love to explore that with Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter."
Moreover, Fuller also said that he has a specific idea ready for the upcoming "Hannibal" movie. According to Movie News Guide, the 46-year-old notable screenwriter believes that turning the TV series into a full-length feature film will be of great help, expressing his desires to further explore the life and views of the infamous doctor/serial killer.
"I'm hoping that someday, whether it's a year from now... two years from now... that we will continue to get to tell that story," Fuller added, as per CrossMap. "I feel like if Will Graham did survive that plunge, his most interesting chapter is yet to be told."
Despite having no actual experience for making a feature film, Fuller is still hopeful that he could get the chance to be able to continue telling the "Hannibal" story. He has also revealed that Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy will be great in playing the roles for the planned movie, Cinema Blend noted.
Fuller also added that the approach for they had for the "Hannibal" series has always been more like independent cinema rather than just normal television series. And he acknowledges the fact that the franchise was a great success in the movie platform prior to its small screen debut.
