<p><i>Red Dragon</i>, the newest installment in the Hannibal Lecter series, is Hollywood's second go at Thomas Harris' best-selling novel of the same name. In 1986 Michael Mann wrote and directed a generally well-regarded version of the same story, under the title <i>Manhunter</i>. However, after the success of <i>The Silence of the Lambs</i>, with Anthony Hopkins delivering a bold and critically acclaimed performance, <i>Manhunter</i> became an orphan. It had little of the same atmosphere as Jonathan Demme's film, and it shared virtually nothing in common with the more blatantly over-the-top <i>Hannibal</i> (directed by Ridley Scott).
