New Hannibal Season 2 Trailer Promises "A Reckoning"

-



Last year, NBC’s drama Hannibal closed out its freshman season on a note that was so horrifying—and so well scripted— Hannibal found itself with a second season renewal, with the contracts for leads Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen left intact. If you’ve been dying to see what direction the characters are headed in, you’re in luck. On Sunday, NBC released it's first look at Hannibal's new season, which will begin airing on the network this winter. 

Many are rarely vociferous about TV trailers, but this one’s a must-watch, giving us an intense look at the episodes to come. 

 The trailer begins with a voiceover from Laurence Fishburne’s Jack Crawford, a man who has seen a lot of murder and darkness in his time. We then see Dancy’s Will Graham behind bars after getting arrested for the murderous acts investigated during Season 1. He proclaims his innocence, declaring Mikkelsen’s Dr. Hannibal Lector to be the real root of evil. Graham’s actually pretty calm when he says, “I am not the intelligent psychopath you are looking for,” but it doesn’t seem to matter. He’s stuck behind bars and people aren’t sure if he’s crazy or the most dangerous man in the room--maybe both. At least he still looks adorable in a jumpsuit. 

Of course, we know he’s a little imbalanced, but he’s also a man with incredible vision who didn’t commit the crimes he is being accused of. NBC has set up what looks to be yet another high stakes game of cat and mouse for Season 2. Since Will is behind bars, it looks like Hannibal is taking on a more integral role with the FBI, much to our anticipation. We’ll have to see how this all plays out, but despite Graham’s claims that “a reckoning” is coming, you still get a sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach. 

Unlike many TV trailers, the Hannibal Season 2 sneak peek really gives us a lot of information concerning where the show will be going. Even though the FBI still looks to be investigating murders, Lector hasn't slowed down. He's hiding in plain sight, with poise and control. Additionally, there is a lot of emotionally unhinged beauty in the trailer, as bodies are stacked up and Lector continues to live a very big lie. The sneak peek is intense, but it does give us a lot of hints about what is to come. 

Hannibal is finally on the cusp of returning to NBC’s schedule. The new season will begin airing in February, and just like last year, the show will be getting 13 episodes. I know a lot of us would like to see the show on for a larger chunk of the year, but the writing is definitely crisper this way. 

  Weigh in when the show hits NBC’s schedule on February 28 at 10 p.m. ET.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television. Celebrity  refers to popular

Actor, producer and director Tyler Perry at his corporate "Dream Building." According to Perry's website, "Tyler Perry Studios will be a film and entertainment production facility like no other, with a world-class ability to support the artists who create new worlds." Perry — the most successful African American filmmaker in history and the ruler of an entertainment empire of hit movies, TV series and plays — maneuvers the vehicle from a parking lot near the entrance of the historic Ft. McPherson Army base onto a paved road. Suddenly, he veers off into a massive, rolling sea of lush greenery. He passes various sights on the vast, grassy landscape; a white yacht resting on a platform, surrounded on three sides by sheets of greenscreen; large ponds with frolicking geese; a trailer park; a cluster of well-kept brick buildings. No one is around. The only sound is the roar of Perry’s engine.  “For me, this is pure paradise,” Perry says, surveying the view

Etiquette: Unwritten Rules of Movie Theaters You're Probably Breaking

View in Browser:   https://mypublicist.blogspot.com/2017/09/etiquette-unwritten-rules-of-movie.html People have been going to the movies for more than 100 years, but in a world increasingly dominated by the streaming pleasures of Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and more, a trek to the local multiplex has become both more sacred (if you're going to spend the big bucks, you want the experience to be perfect ) and less important. With all the conveniences of streaming, it's easy to forget that when you're in a theater watching a movie, you're  in a theater watching a movie . With other people. Not in your house. In. Public. Temporarily forgetting the real world is fine and all... until you realize you're sitting dead center in the middle of a movie theater surrounded by 99 people who each laid down $50 -- popcorn and soda ain't cheap! -- to take in the evening's entertainment. You can do better. You can avoid  a fistfight over the end credits. How? The Th
