Hannibal Rising - Trailer

The monster Hannibal Lecter's formative years.
These experiences as a child and young adult
led to his remarkable contribution to the
fields of medicine, music, painting and
forensics. We begin in World War II at the
medieval castle in Lithuania built by Dr.
Lecter's forebear, Hannibal the Grim. The
child Hannibal survives the horrors of the
Eastern Front and escapes the grim Soviet
aftermath to find refuge in France with the
widow of his uncle, mysterious and beautiful
Japanese descended from Lady Murasaki Shikibu,
author of the Tale of Genji. Her kind and wise
attentions help him understand his unbearable
recollections of the war. Remembering, he finds
the means to visit the outlaw predators that
changed him forever as they battened on helpless
during the collapse of the Eastern Front.
Hannibal helps these war criminals toward
self-knowledge even as we see his own nature
become clear to him.
