‘Break the Silence’ was the ominous tagline for the first teaser poster (no credits, just a title) warning the cinema going public that the anti-hero serial killer Hannibal Lecter was back in Ridley Scott’s “Silence of the Lambs” sequel “Hannibal”. Designed by Diane Reynolds-Nash, it’s not hard to see why this poster un-nerves and unsettles people; the ‘red-eyed’, deeply shadowed, deathly looking “Hannibal” imagery is truly scary, dark and disturbing. Original and unrestored this rolled (as issued) 2000 US one-sheet presents to excellent effect. Genuinely scarce, this striking piece represents a highly collectable item of horror movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The first shot of Florence after the movie starts is the same scene as depicted in the drawing on Dr. Hannibal Lecter’s (Sir Anthony Hopkins‘) cell wall that he described to Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), the Duomo, as seen from the Belvedere, in Florence, Italy.

Jonathan Demme’s “The Silence of the Lambs” is one of the best horror thriller movies ever made; excellent Award winning performances, full of dark humour and gory thrills. This original pair of 1991 British double crowns features a design by Marcus Silversides commissioned by the design agency BLT Communications which really is two clever and visually stunning pieces of complementing artwork with an amazing use of colour (white and pale colour tones for Clarice and deep, blood red for Lecter) and imagery featuring skull adorned winged moths over both Anthony Hopkins (Hannibal Lecter) and Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster) leading characters’ mouths. Presented in very good condition these rolled (as issued) examples display superbly and represent fine pieces of original cinematic movie memorabilia.
Note: the price is for both posters, Clarice Starling and Hannibal Lecter
Trivia: When Sir Anthony Hopkins found out that he was cast as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, based on his performance as Dr. Frederick Treves in The Elephant Man (1980), he questioned director Jonathan Demme, and said “But Dr. Treves was a good man”, to which Demme replied “So is Lecter, he is a good man too. Just trapped in an insane mind.”
