[D head]

If anyone is interested I found a copy of Hannibal on it's own at Best Buy.. It says no release date here but if you want to find one they might have it.. It's $16.99...

[therock666]

was it where the new releases are at bestbuy?

[D head]

No, It was in the A-Z section...


Apparently, It's now listed as a "Best Buy Exclusive" for 1/25/11 Sooooo.. That explains it..

Looks bare bones. So this is just the single disc from the Hannibal Lecter Anthology. I'll stick with the UK Blu-ray from Universal. That ported over all the extras from the DVD(except for the trailers).

[D head]

Yeah, It is but it's okay with me for now for the price.. I'm definitely keeping my reciept handy so I can get the adjustment from when it goes on sale to $9.99 from Jan 30th - Feb 5th too..

Since I already have the two disc DVD of Hannibal, I look forward to picking up this release. Hopefully Manhunter will follow, if not, as least all the Hopkins films have been released individually now.

I only ever watched the first episode of the tv series. No point in watching a cancelled show now. It didn't even get that far.

Which is stupid, because the series is its own beast and has a definite conclusion.

Visually (especially the David Slade-directed episodes) it was the best thing on TV. It goes far beyond anything (even Hannibal the book) the films did in turns of surreal macabre.

Sure glad you weren't around when I started watching Deadwood or The Wire or Sons of Anarchy or Twin Peaks or Prime Suspect or, well, you get the idea.

Well it had an ending.....

The Hannibal TV series isn't even completely dead yet. Bryan Fuller (the creator of the show) said he's going to try and bring back Hannibal, and serious discussions for the future of the show will begin on August 2017. Even though I was satisfied by how the series has ended, I really do hope it comes back. Because I really want to see them tackle Clarice Starling. That is if MGM would just let Bryan Fuller use the rights for The Silence of the Lambs.

I doubt it will match the visuals and audio of Hannibal the film though!

You may feel that way, because we're all individuals, but I think the score for the television show was phenomenal. It made the best use of my subwoofer in a non-crash-boom way I've ever heard. The low frequency notes (which vanished when I did A/B with my television speakers) heightened the emotional intensity of the show.

Honestly, the sound design was my favorite part of this show.

As for visuals, it's hard to beat the combination of attraction and revulsion the cooking scenes produced in me.

Three seasons and dozens of hours is pretty long. All the story lines were wrapped up.

I prefer series that have limited runs. Those that go on forever tend to lose focus and become shadows of themselves.

I definitly agree on the sound design of the show. There isn't another TV-Show (or Movie for that matter) in my 1500+ BD-Collection that uses the subwoofer as intensely and effectively as this show especially in the third season. The sound design combined with the amazing visual design and superb storytelling and acting are makeing it a show for the ages for me. I still can't believe this show aired on NBC. Levels about everything else they had and have on imo.

I was thinking more of the soundtrack music rather than effects.

We are talking about the music, not sound effects. It's not crash-boom subwoofer stuff; it's musical notes, sometimes more felt than heard, but still notes. It's part of the score.

But it's not just the low notes. The score uses a variety of unusual instruments to produce a haunting, emotional musical backdrop for the show.

There are some samples on YouTube, but it works best in the context of the show.

Hannibal the series shits all over anything else ever filmed about Hannibal Lector

WTF!? Why is it region B when the previous release was region free? Unless this has a new transfer. =/

It's a user edited database and defaults to local regions I believe. I'm sure it's the same disc and therefore region free.
