Deadline reports that director David Slade (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 30 Days of Night) is set to direct the pilot for “Hannibal”.
The project is described as a contemporary thriller featuring the classic characters from Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon – FBI agent Will Graham (Hugh Dancy) and his mentor Dr. Hannibal Lecter — who are re-introduced at the beginning of their budding relationship. This marks Slade’s return to NBC where he directed the pilot for freshman drama “Awake” last season. He most recently helmed the Lifetime drama pilot “American Housewife” starring Melanie Griffith.
