ABOUT THE FILM
Universal Pictures and the Dino De Laurentiis Company in association with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer present Red Dragon, based on Thomas Harris’ 1981 novel, a prequel to the author's subsequent best-sellers The Silence of The Lambs (1988) and Hannibal (1999), in which he first introduced the character of serial killer Hannibal Lecter.

Director Brett Ratner, fresh from his smash success with Rush Hour 2, teams with producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis, who scored earlier this year with the blockbuster screen version of Hannibal, and screenwriter Ted Tally, who won an Oscar® for his screenplay for The Silence of The Lambs.

Oscar® nominee Edward Norton stars as ex-FBI agent Will Graham, an expert investigator who quit the Bureau after almost losing his life in the process of capturing the elusive Dr Lecter, played again by Academy Award® winner Anthony Hopkins.

Years later, after a series of particularly grisly murders, Graham reluctantly agrees to come out of retirement and assist in the case. But he soon realises that the best way to catch this killer, known as the Tooth Fairy, is to find a way to get inside the killer's mind. And the closest thing to that would be to probe the mind of another killer who is equally brilliant and equally twisted. For Graham, that means confronting his past and facing his former nemesis, the now-incarcerated Lecter. Oscar® nominee Ralph Fiennes plays Francis Dolarhyde.

Red Dragon opens October 4 in theaters everywhere. The Decca soundtrack will be released on September 24 and features original music by Danny Elfman (Planet of the Apes, Batman, Spiderman and MIB 2).
