Hannibal (aka The Silence of the Lambs 2) is a 2001 film directed by Ridley Scott, adapted from the Thomas Harris novel of the same name. Set ten years after The Silence of the Lambs, the premise is that one of Hannibal Lecter's surviving victims, the extremely wealthy Mason Verger, is out to capture, torture, and kill him. The film's locations alternate between Italy and the United States.
According to Steffen Hantke, author of "Horror Film: Creating and Marketing Fear", Hannibal the film was an "eagerly anticipated auteur and star-driven event movie, with emphasis on a distinctive visual appearance and deliberate flamboyant performances."
Hannibal was the anticipated sequel to 1991's Oscar-winning The Silence of the Lambs which introduced Hannibal Lecter to mainstream moviegoing audiences. The Silence of the Lambs became only the third film in history to receive Academy Awards for Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and screenplay adaptation. The character of Hannibal Lecter became a "household name" , and part of popular culture. The "bumpy" development of Hannibal drew a large amount of attention, with Silence of the Lambs director, Jonathan Demme, screenwriter Ted Tally and actress Jodie Foster all eventually declining involvement. Upon release, Hannibal broke box-office records in the United States, Australia, Canada and the UK in February 2001.
Hannibal - Rome's Worst Nightmare is a 2006 television film, made by the British Broadcasting Corporation. It was presented as a dramatised documentary.
As its name suggests, it is about Hannibal, the famous Carthaginian general.
It starred Alexander Siddig in the title role and Bashar Rahal as his brother.

Trouble strikes again when he is discovered leaving a deserving few dead in the process. He returns back to America to once again make contact with now disgraced Agent Clarice Starling who is suffering the wrath of a malicious FBI official/rival as well as the media. Meanwhile, Hannibal must survive the advances by a disfigured and vengeful victim he first came in contact with years ago as a patient.

It is 200 years before the birth of Christ and Rome is the new superpower of the ancient world. She believes she is invincible - but one man is destined to change that. He is a man bound by oath to avenge the wrongs inflicted on his home and, in pursuit of revenge, he will stop at nothing. Hannibal explores the man behind the myth, revealing what drove the 26-year-old to mastermind one of the most audacious military moves in history. With 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants, he marched 1,500 miles to challenge his enemies on their own soil. It was an act so daring that few people believed it possible. Hannibal combines drama, the latest historical research and state-of-the-art CGI to bring this spectacular story to life. Written by Melissa Lowery
