Hannibal is looking after his little sister Mischa, though fails to meets his own standards. Inside the little boy’s head to be more precise. World War II is nearly over, but leaves its marks on the little boy.

Hence we meet the little Hannibal, only eight years old, incredibly intelligent (are we surprised?), growing up in Lithuania, in the castle that has been in his family for over five centuries. Lecter with one hand less than before obviously has lost some of his appeal.Ī prequel seemed the logical solution. After the huge success of The Silence of the Lambs, the moderate success of the follow up Hannibal, film producers almost begged Harris for a sequel.
