Should have been directed by David Fincher


Brett Ratner just has a shallow style of film-making, it could've been an all time great if directed by someone like David Fincher.

Doubt he’d have been interested after doing Se7en a few years earlier, which has somewhat similar subject matter to the Hannibal Lector films.

Man you could say that about sooo many movies!

I've always thought that actually Ridley Scott--who did Hannibal--should have directed Red Dragon since the latter film would have been a better match for his directorial style, and that Fincher should have directed Hannibal, for the same reason.

David Fincher Directing this would've definitely given it a SE7EN vibe to a degree

reply

Yeah, going from Scott to Ratner was an insane drop
