Is fiction's most famous cannibal headed back to the big screen?
Much to the consternation of fans of quality television everywhere, NBC pulled the plug on Bryan Fuller's slick serial killer drama Hannibal recently. The show has never been a ratings winner but it has plenty of passionate fans (or fannibals, as they like to be known) and quite a following outside of the US. The writing's been on the wall for a while now, but it's still sad to see such a unique, original series on the chopping block.
There was hope Amazon or Netflix would step in and pick up the show, but both streaming services passed, leaving Hannibal in limbo once more. Despite this blow, Fuller promised fans he was still investigating ways to bring the series back.
At Comic-Con this past weekend, the showrunner updated fans on Hannibal's status, revealing that the series could return as a feature film at some point in the future. It might not be the news everyone was hoping for, but with the series on such thin-ice, we'll happily take what we can get at this point.
