Agree with this...He did one helluva good job bringing Silence of the Lambs to the big screen. RIP.
Very well said sir. Casting Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter was a stroke of genius imho.The film adaptation of Silence of the Lambs is one of the rarest breeds IMO, and that is when the film is actually better than the novel. No disrespect meant for Thomas Harris, as I love the novel (and Red Dragon before that). The movie is a perfect storm of casting, direction and screenplay. About the only other example of this sort of anomaly is the film The Godfather, which is head and shoulders above the original novel.
