Fuller broke the news of the series premiere date on Twitter, writing: "#Hannibal requests the honour of your presence for dinner Thursday April 4 10PM @NBC -- Saving you a place at the table."

Fuller also revealed that Eddie Izzard has been on set, posting a picture of the two together and writing: "Always hungry for more @eddieizzard on #HANNIBAL - here we plot our next course."

Izzard will reportedly play an asylum inmate who claims that he is an infamous serial killer.

The show will explore the early relationship between Dr Hannibal Lecter and a criminal profiler, special agent Will Graham.

Lecter will be played by Casino Royale star Mads Mikkelsen, with Hugh Dancy (The Big C) in the role of the Agent Graham. Caroline Dhavernas (Devil), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Copper) and Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) also feature in the series.

Fuller is an executive producer on the thriller, along with Martha De Laurentiis, Katie O'Connell, Sara Colleton and Jesse Alexander.

Really enjoyed the first episode.

I thought it had quite a strong 'Dexter' feel to it, something quite dark, violent, but a very likeable side to it.

The pathologist is a very interesting character, looking forward to seeing his personality develop some more.

Cant wait for the next episode.

Same. Initially I thought it was going to be one of those Law and Order, NCIS type shows, where every week there's a new victim and boring people in lab coats explaining what happened etc. But it's not! To fully enjoy the show, I feel that you have to detach it completely from the movies and think of it as a completely new storyline and entity in itself. I do hope they don't dwell too much on this Dexter type "dark passenger" concept too much.

Very good first installment!!

Has anyone else noticed that broadcast shows arestarting to look more like cable fare? Thinking Hannibal, The Following etc.

I haven't watched The Following but the production quality of Hannibal is really high. I recently saw the first episode and I enjoyed every moment of it. I like it even more than The Killing and I really liked that show.

Do you guys have an idea when the pulled episode will be aired outside the US? Will it still be in order? I like this show a lot but I think it might mess up the main plot considering that they are serialized.

Well this is annoying. Why didn't they just change the time slot for it to be aired closer to midnight or something? I guess we can just wait for the actual episode to be aired in Asia / Europe. And this is a pivotal episode in the development of Hannibal's relationship with the child killer. Ugh.

I finally got to watch the pulled episode and

apart from stating that it's the children murdering their family, I don't find anything that is "too much" on this one. It didn't even show the actual murder happening and most of the air time was still focused on the main plot. Or maybe it's just me :p

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
