At the time, Star Trek had an open script submission policy and Fuller contributed a spec, leading to a pitching opportunity. 2013-2015 HANNIBAL From writer and producer Bryan Fuller Rolling Stone Review: In this series, that thrillingly self-destructive impulse is invited — and then rewarded a hundredfold with some of the most gorgeous visuals of murder and cooking you’ve ever seen. “For most producers, that would have been the first thing they cut if they were making this, but they’d be missing what makes the book work,” Green says, to which Fuller, sitting next to him, gleefully adds, “Yeah, fuck those assholes!” The two showrunners, who first worked together on the NBC show Heroes back in 2006, had been busy with their own projects – Fuller was deep into his baroque re-imagining of Thomas Harris’ cannibal gourmet Hannibal, and Green was working on scripts for the revisionist X-Men blockbuster Logan, the upcoming Blade Runner reboot and an all-star take on Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. According to a 2020 report (via Rolling Stone), Tennant's likability as a performer ironically played out a role in NBC's decision.Per Fuller: The author starting talking to networks and settled on Starz; now it was just a matter of finding someone who had the right sensibility. The second season improved a bit, mainly just by introducing its own take on characters from the Sixties series, like Spock and Christopher Pike. Working with Michael Green (the suddenly-hot scribe behind “Logan” and “Blade Runner 2049”), Fuller has grafted Gaiman’s vision with his own sublimely strange sense of visual composition, honed on “Hannibal,” one of the best programs of the ‘10s. But even those who tuned in to Bryan Fuller and Michael Green’s long-awaited TV adaptation of American Gods, which kicked off its inaugural eight-episode run on April 30th, and expected something like an opening prologue that resembles Game of Thrones on acid – they probably didn’t think Gaiman’s sequence involving an ancient fertility goddess named Bilquis swallowing her lover would survive the transition to the screen. Both Mikkelsen and series creator Bryan Fuller have been vocal … And that is why someone stumbling across Starz last night would have seen a woman suck a grown man completely into her vagina. Stewart returning to the role would be reason enough to watch, but this is an actual show, rather than a greatest-hits collection. In 2017, Fuller told Rolling Stone that season four of Hannibal would be “Inception meets Angel Heart.” So…freakishly mind-bending and horrific? Anyone familiar with Fuller and Green’s previous work won’t be surprised by the show’s sumptuous visual sense – there will be blood, and it will be filmed spurting and cascading in slow-motion – or the occasional feeling that you may have been dosed while watching, say, literally faceless henchmen beat up our hero or Gillian Anderson appearing as David Bowie. So there’s always been something political that’s attached itself to the book. Ok. That becomes the filter for everything: There was an interview I did recently where someone asked me if the book meant something differently in a post-Trump world. There is a clear purpose to revisiting the character at this advanced age, and to the story he gets tangled up in, which includes a young scientist (Isa Briones) having bad dreams of her own, a robotics expert (Alison Pill) who knows a lot about Data, an ex-Starfleet officer (Michelle Hurd) bitter about how her career and Picard’s ended, and a mercenary ship captain (Santiago Cabrera) who helps answer the question, “What if Han Solo had a snippy, disapproving holographic twin?”.

Hannibal Season 4 would be Inception meets Angel Heart according to the show’s creator, Bryan Fuller, and that sounds perfect to us. Stewart’s played frail old men before (including in Logan, to which Picard bears a more than passing resemblance), so the physicality he brings to the job isn’t surprising.
