# Prequel to "Silence of the Lambs" being remade

I read over at [SandyWalsh.com](http://www.sandywalsh.com/article.php?sid=220&mode=thread&order=0&thold=0) that they're redoing the movie known as [Manhunter](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0091474), only this time it's going to be called *"[Red Dragon](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0289765)"* and [Edward Norton](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Norton,+Edward) gets to be the star.   
  
For those of you have never seen Manhunter, it's a prequel to [Silence of the Lambs](http://us.imdb.com/Title?0102926) and (in my opinion) can't hold a candle to its successor(s). It's quite weird seeing somebody play Hannibal Lecter who's not [Sir Anthony Hopkins](http://us.imdb.com/Name?Hopkins,+Anthony).   
  
Here's a link to the [original story](http://www.dtheatre.com/read.php?sid=1500).
