Overview

• Fuller told Screen Rant at TIFF that his dream is a limited-series take on The Silence of the Lambs pairing Zendaya’s Clarice Starling with Mads Mikkelsen’s Hannibal Lecter.
• He characterized the idea as a personal pitch rather than an active or greenlit production.
• The key hurdle is split ownership, with MGM holding Silence of the Lambs characters and story while the De Laurentiis Company controls Hannibal.
• Fuller said Thomas Harris is working to consolidate rights following Martha De Laurentiis’s death, a process he believes could take years.
• He added that the original Hannibal cast, including Hugh Dancy and Laurence Fishburne, would be willing to return if the rights are resolved.
