5 Suggested Premises For Hannibal Lecter's TV Foray

""Earlier today, we learned that Bryan Fuller is writing a television project about Hannibal Lecter for French TV studio Gaumont. The one-hour drama called Hannibal will center on the early days of the cannibalistic serial killer. Movieline HQ has thought of five more entertaining television projects for Lecter that could not only land him a few Emmys, but might help the deranged doctor shed his bad rap and worm his way into the couch potato hearts of Americans.

Examples:

Hannibal & Clarice
Format: Sitcom

About the Show: He’s a gay psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer. She’s a straight FBI agent. Somehow, they make it work as roommates! Cher guest stars as God.

======

Cannabilizing the Kardashians
Format: Reality

About the Show: A spin-off series from Keeping Up With the Kardashians. The only difference is that at the end of each episode, notorious movie cannibal Hannibal Lecter feasts on the most annoying family member.

Sample Episode: Bruce is concerned when he discovers Kendall is taking birth control. Kim develops a rash on her body, and realizes she has inherited more than she bargained for from her mother. Hannibal eats Khloe.

Scoop's suggestion to turn the second idea into a morality play

Change the name to The Three Kardashians Gruff. Make it a one-time special instead of a series.

Hannibal waits under a bridge where the sisters jog. He plans to eat the first Kardashian that crosses. Tiny Kourtney appears, and is nearly a victim, but she talks Dr Lecter into waiting for Kim, who has more meat on her bones and the appeal of a big, juicy rump roast. Kim then attempts to cross, and Dr. Lecter attempts to eat her, but Kim talks the good doc into waiting for Khloe, who has far more meat on her bones. Khloe then comes along, and Dr. Lecter approaches her, fork in hand. But he's gotten too greedy. The gigantic young Khloe overpowers the elderly Lecter, slings him over her mighty shoulders, takes him home and eats him with a light dijon sauce and a bottle of beaujolais!

A wise narrator, played by Derek Jacobi, then comes in to explain the moral lesson.

Whereupon Khloe eats him as well.
