After Hannibal, no one knows exactly where Dr. Lecter could be but if Universal Studios gets their way, audiences will soon find out.

Anthony Hopkins is negotiating bringing Dr. Lecter to the big screen again in Thomas Harris's book "Red Dragon." The Oscar winner says he is interested in another chance as Hannibal, depending on the script.

Mann actually produced his own adaptation of "Red Dragon" in 1986 and titled the movie Manhunter, starring Brian Cox. "Red Dragon" will be the third in the shrink-turned-cannibal series after Silence of the Lambs and the recent Hannibal.
