domandeirrisolte:“Notably, you skip over Francis Dolarhyde’s origins from the book. Was that because of time, or something that worked better for the character?”Bryan Fuller: “Well, I think the trouble would have been for us giving so much to a child actor…my concern was finding the right child actor, and then seeing that child actor in Richard Armitage, which could convolute the character in some ways. And I felt it was better to get a glimpse of it and understand that Richard Armitage is Francis Dolarhyde, and not spend too much time with anybody else being Dolarhyde. The same goes for the earlier part of the season, when we were exploring a little bit of Hannibal’s backstory. There were conversations in the writer’s room, “Do we see young Hannibal?,” and my attitude was, “I don’t want to see anybody else play Hannibal except for Mads Mikkelsen.”” “You have so much more time to understand this character without having to give some big explanation about their messed up childhood or what not. It’s interesting to consider Richard’s Dolarhyde compared to Tom Noonan’s and Ralph Fiennes’.”Bryan Fuller: “I think it really was about having the real estate to tell a more in depth story. The movies were essentially two hours long, and we got to do six hours of television to explore the arc of Francis Dolarhyde. And that allows you to give a little bit more insight, it allowed us to explore his struggles with insanity more in depth than the previous two adaptations, simply because they didn’t have time.” [Bryan Fuller interview for We Got This Covered on December 2015]Details of Hannibal -- source link
