Director David Slade has had a pretty eclectic career, going from Hard Candy to 30 Days of Night to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Now, Slade is set to take on the world's most famous cannibal, as he signs on to direct the first episode to Hannibal, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Written by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), Hannibal focuses on Hannibal Lecter as a younger man, working alongside Will Graham, the FBI agent destined to eventually figure out Lecter's dark secret and capture him. Hugh Dancy (The Big C) has been cast as Graham, but the coveted role of Hannibal has yet to be filled. NBC has picked Hannibal up straight to series, with a 13-episode commitment.

This will be the second NBC pilot Slade has directed in the past year. His previous pilot, for Awake, was tremendously acclaimed - getting a perfect 10 score here at IGN TV from Matt Fowler. Slade also directed an episode of Breaking Bad, "Open House," last year.

Slade is attached to direct 20th Century Fox's next Daredevil movie, expected to be a total reboot of the Ben Affleck incarnation.

看來(lái)《異度覺(jué)醒》(Awake)的合作令NBC非常滿意，所以，為了其新季最令人期待的導(dǎo)航集《漢尼拔》(Hannibal)，電視網(wǎng)再次找來(lái)了《暮色3：月食》的導(dǎo)演大衛(wèi)·斯雷德(David Slade)來(lái)掌鏡。

孔雀臺(tái)此次不走預(yù)定導(dǎo)航集的尋常路，直接將布萊恩·福勒(Bryan Fuller)的計(jì)劃投入13集的制作?！稘h尼拔》的故事主要聚焦于托馬斯·哈里斯的小說(shuō)《紅龍》，講述了FBI探員威爾·格拉漢姆和他的“導(dǎo)師”漢尼拔博士相識(shí)相知的故事。在Showtime劇集《如果還有明天》出演的英國(guó)男星休·丹西將飾演威爾·格拉漢姆。?
