"They sort of gave up on it a little bit because we were casting a European guy as the face of they wanted to be more accessible," he said. But that, in turn, gave the Hannibal team way more creative freedom. The casting of Mads Mikkelsen, according to Fuller, then made the marketing folks more or less tune out from the show.
"I’d say ‘Mads Mikkelsen’ and they’d say ‘No, how about Hugh Grant?’ and I’d say, ‘Great, make an offer, he’s gonna say no,’ then they’d make an offer and he’d say no, and I’d be like ‘What about Mads Mikkelsen?’ and they’d be like ‘Well what about John Cusack?’ and I’d say ‘Great, make an offer, he’s gonna say no’ and they’d make an offer and he’d say no and I’d say, ‘What about Mads Mikkelsen?’" "That was just them thinking about ‘Okay how do we get the biggest audience for our television show? We have to cast John Cusack as Hannibal Lecter and everybody will tune in because won’t that be surprising?’ I was like, ‘Well go ahead, make an offer.’”įuller shared that whenever NBC suggested a name, he suggest they make an offer. I liked how matter of fact Pazzi and Will were with each other, as Pazzi revealed he knew Will’s own questionable past and Will admitted, “You don’t know whose side I’m on” - or even what he’d do if he found Hannibal."I think the network wanted somebody that was much more poppy, much more mainstream, much more American I think in some ways," Fuller stated. We learned Pazzi had once tried and failed to catch Hannibal when he was “The Monster of Florence” who was known to “arrange his victims like a beautiful painting,” showing Lecter has always been artful with his murder. We also met Rinaldo Pazzi (Fortunato Cerlino) this week, a character from the Thomas Harris Hannibal novel. The scene where Will imagined the “heart” contorting into a four-legged form of the Stag Man was one of those “I can’t believe I am watching this messed up thing happening on my television right now” moments that only this show can deliver. In the midst of this, we got back into Will Graham’s particular set of skills, and his ability to see in the mind’s eye of a killer – as he analyzed the “broken heart” Hannibal had left in the form of the distorted, ghastly (yet, per usual for Hannibal, fascinating and grotesquely beautiful) remains of his latest victim. Of course, learning she was dead meant that those things she was telling Will were all things Will was telling himself – reflecting Will’s own regret and sense of loss over Hannibal, and once more shining a light on just how wonderfully twisted a dynamic these two men have. No one had to die.” After all, the events in the Season 2 finale made it clear Hannibal had used his diabolical skills to warp her mind to some extent, as we know he's able to.

It might seem ludicrous that she could have survived having her throat slit like that, but if anyone would know how to do such a thing and not make it lethal, it would be Hannibal Lecter, right? And what really made it work was Abigail seemingly longing to be reunited with Hannibal, not to catch him, as she said things like, “He gave you the chance to take it all back and you kept lying.
While the idea that poor “Abigail” was a figment of Will’s imagination seemed like a possibility initially, Bryan Fuller cleverly also sold us on it being plausible that she was alive.
