RED DRAGON brings Hannibal “The Cannibal” Lecter back for another bite of the cherry. This time round Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) is enlisted by FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) to catch the Tooth Fairy, real name Francis Dolarhyde (Ralph Fiennes).

"It was a daunting prospect, but I think it sort of worked out," veteran British actor Anthony Hopkins says about revisiting Hollywood’s favourite psychopath, Hannibal Lecter, for a third time.

British actress Emily Watson, who stars in the new Hannibal Lecter film Red Dragon, is used to playing tortured characters.

Hannibal Lecter has been voted the scariest serial killer of all time in a new film poll.

Red Dragon director Brett Ratner says his movie will be faithful to Thomas Harris's book.
