The next adaptation was 1991 's The Silence of the Lambs, which was directed by Jonathan Demme and was the first film to feature Anthony Hopkins in the role of Hannibal Lecter. Silence was a success, both critically and financially, and went on to become the third film in Academy Awards history to win in all top five categories ( Best Actor for Hopkins, Best Actress for Jodie Foster, Best Director for Demme, Best Adapted Screenplay for Ted Tally, and Best Picture ). Hopkins reprised the role in the next two films, 2001 's Hannibal, a sequel directed by Ridley Scott, and 2002 's Red Dragon, a prequel directed by Brett Ratner. In 2002, Hopkins revealed that he had written a screenplay for another sequel, ending with Clarice killing Lecter but it was not produced. In 2007, Hannibal Rising was released. The film is a prequel, directed by Peter Webber and starring Gaspard Ulliel as Lecter. In 2013, the TV series Hannibal premiered. Developed by Bryan Fuller, it is not a direct adaptation, but based on characters and elements from the novels. Some male characters have become female, such as Freddy Lounds, who is renamed Fredricka `` Freddie '' Lounds. The series has garnered much critical acclaim since its premiere, winning the 2014 and 2015 Saturn Award for Best Network Television Series, as well as the inaugural Best Action - Thriller Television Series in 2016. In 2016, when asked if there were any sequels that he wished he could revisit, Hopkins said, `` I made the mistake of doing two more ( Hannibal Lecter movies ) and I should have only done one. '' In 2017, Foster reprised her role as Starling in a skit titled `` Clarice Probes Hannibal Lecter About Trump 's Russia Ties '' on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, opposite Stephen Colbert as Hannibal Lecter. In the skit, Clarice questions Lecter on his relationship with Donald Trump and what he can tell her about his relationship with Russia.

'' We could n't get the rights to that character, because that character originated in Silence of the Lambs. The character 's name was Paul Krendler, and we wanted to call her Paula Krendler, and they said no, because the way the rights go, it 's not by the literature, it 's actually by the character 's introduction. So if a character is first seen in Silence of the Lambs, we 're screwed, as far as rights go. In order to change the character so it 's not that but sort of services the same mythology in the show and reinvent the character in a way that wo n't get us sued, ( Laughs. ) we anagrammed her and made her slightly different from the character in both Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal to our own purposes.
