Hannibal: Bigger Longer and UnCut By Jack, (DT) March 1, 2001 12:19 PM PT |

Director Ridley Scott will add as much as an hour of unused footage to a TV version of the hit movie Hannibal, which CBS will be able to run exclusively as a four-hour miniseries beginning in the November sweeps of 2003.
CBS will pay $18 million for airing rights to Hannibal and USA will pay $12 million for additional airs. USA is expected to schedule the two-hour version of Hannibal. According to Variety's sources; ABC and TBS/TNT weren't interested in Hannibal because of it's controversial content. There is no word yet whether or not the DVD version will contain the addtional footage, I truly do hope so. |
