Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects present 31 Things We Learned from Michael Mann’s Manhunter<\/em> Commentary<\/a>.  Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n

\n

9.<\/strong> Brian Dennehy \u201cvery much wanted to play Hannibal Lecktor,\u201d but told Mann that despite his own interest in the role there was someone who would actually be better for it. He then directed Mann to go see a play in NYC called Rat in the Skull featuring a British actor named\u2026 Brian Cox.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

5.<\/strong> One of the key things that drew him to Thomas Harris\u2018 novel Red Dragon was Graham\u2019s path of self-destruction in the service of catching and stopping the killer. \u201cIt fascinated me so much it made this, to me, a totally unique detective story and one that had dynamics and complexities that I had never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

8.<\/strong> Mann says there was an impulse during production to increase Hannibal Lecktor\u2019s (Brian Cox) screen-time, but he resisted the urge. \u201cI wanted the audience to almost not quite get enough of him.\u201d The first meeting between Graham and Lecktor is extended for the director\u2019s cut.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
