Cool, but who watches CBS? Needs to be on a streaming service.

I thought Clarice ran off with Hannibal Lecter at the end of the last book.

The days of the FBI being seen as paragons of dedication to the law, tirelessly rooting out crime, is long gone. Clarice Starling is a fictional character, and the FBI is just another good ol boys network of clock watchers mentally calculating the minutes to their pensions.

Starling, not Sterling. Clarice M. Starling.

Has it been that long ago that the writer has forgotten?

Silence of the Lambs trivia:

The Silence of the Lambs was published in 1988, and the movie adaptation hit theaters in 1991, directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Jodie Foster as Clarice. It swept the top categories at the 64th Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actress for Foster (best actor for Anthony Hopkins).

FYI, perhaps the most famous movie line: "I ate his liver with some java beans and a nice chianti," (slurp-slurp-slurp) was not in the book.

The line in the book is: I ate his liver with some java beans and a big Amarone." Amarone is an expensive Italian sweet(er) red wine fermented after the grapes have begun to dry out to become more like raisins than grapes. The process creates a robust (big) wine. Never heard of it until recently re-reading the book. Had to look it up. Which is why Demme went with chianti, I suppose.

Not against your post, but I can’t help thinking that original imagination is lacking when they start resorting to turning unique movies like this into a series because they can’t think of something original. The “Bone collector” is another one just coming out.

If they are going to do this then why not emulate movies like “The Patriot” or “Braveheart”? That might be cool positive propaganda. :)

given that it CBS network television, it’s guaranteed to be “woke” AND horribly written, and therefore completely unwatchable ... however, it will probably still get great ratings because of the vast numbers of morons who still watch network TV series ...

It is set in DC?

Will the bad guys be predominately Republicans?

Will the bad guys be predominately corporate, church, or NRA lobbyist?

Will the bad guys be predominately white, males?

They waited this long to do it.

I can wait as long, to view it!

Dredging past popularity to drill it into the ground with poorly done remakes. Modern Hollywood.

“But hers is the very story we need today: her struggle, her resilience, her victory. Her time is now, and always.”

Nauseating quote. Any time they talk about what we “need today,” it’s code for “dat debbil Trump.” Same language was used when Boosh was their bogeyman.

All characters will be trans except for the criminals who’s disgusting crime will be that they don’t support the fruit’s lifestyles.
