Obviously I meant prequel, not sequel. :smack:
Probably the opposite, in Raiders he says something in the bar about not believing in any ‘mumbo-jumbo’ (or similar).
Yet in Temple he saw a fair bit of mumbo-jumbo firsthand, IIRC.
So what happened to change his mind?
I haven’t actually seen this movie but IIRC it was Brian Dennehy.
Actually, Brian Cox. It’s not bad at all and the Criterion Collection version is really nice.
Wrong Brian – it was Brian Cox, who did a great job.
The mind boggles at the image of a huge cuddly-bear Hannibal Lecter played by Dennehy.
Nope- Brian Cox - he was in The Ring, Troy, The Bourne Supremacy, etc. Excellent actor, and I thought he did a very good job as Lector.
No, Brian Cox played MANHUNTER’s Lecter, who was a college prof who preyed on coeds, not a supergenius cannibal psychiatrist. And novelistically, the order of writing & chronology are RED DRAGON, SILENCE and HANNIBAL, with the upcoming BEFORE THE MASK preceding RED.
Also, C.S. Lewis’s THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW has never been filmed, nor has A HORSE AND HIS BOY or THE LAST BATTLE. The BBC stopped with THE SILVER CHAIR.
Aside from the character of Indiana Jones, the fact that they don’t overlap chronologically, and a few rehashed jokes, there is zero continuty between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.
Raiders takes place in 1936. ToD takes place in 1934. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade takes place in 1938.
BoxOfficeMojo.com lists ToD with a budget of $28 million and a worldwide lifetime gross of $333,107,271. Raiders, budgeted at $18 million, grossed $384,140,454.
Regarding Manhunter, the Wikipedia entry for the film asserts that the name was changed due to the box office failure of Year of the Dragon. Michael Mann also apparently feared it would be mistaken for a martial arts film due to the title.
Strangely enough, considering some earlier comments about the actor playing Lecter, they also list this bit of trivia:
Now that’s a mental image I don’t need.
Dennehy as Lector delivers the fava bean line, then pulls down the corner of his eye and light twinkles out.
:eek: :eek:
I hate to break this to you, but it was Brian Cox.
Brian Dennehy was considered for the role, but only once. For 20 minutes.
Let’s not turn this into another 1920’s style death ray fiasco now… I stand humbly corrected. The dope fights my ignorance once again. :o
In The Beginning had a prequel story to Babylon 5 framed inside a story that was a sequel to (most of) the series.
