The first images of actor Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) as the iconic/sadistic Dr. Hannibal Lecter are now online, over at EW.com. Their gallery has a bunch of new photos from Bryan Fuller's (Pushing Daisies) new NBC series, Hannibal, based on the famous characters from Thomas Harris' novels Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs.
Hannibal revolves around the partnership formed between FBI profiler Will Graham and "consultant" Lecter; solving serial murder cases together while Lecter's own proclivity for, ahem, eating human flesh remains a secret. Actor Hugh Dancy portrays Graham (played by Edward Norton in Red Dragon) and Laurence Fishburne plays Agent Jack Crawford (played by Scott Glenn in The Silence of the Lambs).
