Why Clarice won't be allowed to mention Hannibal Lecter
-
Rights issues over author Thomas Harris’ characters means that Hannibal is, legally speaking, He Who Shall Not Be Named. "I’m still trying to understand how the rights are divided,” says executive producer Alex Kurtzman. “But it's been quite liberating because we have no interest in writing about Hannibal — not because we didn't love the films and the show, but because it was done so well by so many people that it didn't feel fresh for us.”
