The Finale season of "Hannibal'' saw Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter created an allegiance to take down Francis Dolarhyde also known as the Red Dragon. When Will and Hannibal successfully eliminated the antagonist, the two ended up on the verge of cliff with the former saying to the latter, "This is all I ever wanted for you,'' and then they went into the water and the credit rolls in. Showrunner Bryan Fuller said that the open-ended part was intentional, with Will realizing that "he couldn't go back so he had to go over the edge.''
Vine Report said Fuller was asked if he feels like there is a need to wrap up the story line with a movie, he answered, "I feel like if Will Graham did survive that plunge, his most interesting chapter is yet to be told. There is something in the novel "Hannibal" that has not been done in any of the adaptations and I would love to explore that."
If executive producer Martha De Laurentiis can get the movie financed, it may be a green light one or two years from now with Ellen Page as potential Clarice Starling.
According to Screen Rant, "Hannibal" creator Bryan Fuller says film financing is being sought and offered the following update - the most concrete on the subject in months: "[Executive producer] Martha De Laurentiis is looking into financing for a film. I'm still hoping that we get to tell that story in some way. There is something in the novel "Hannibal" that has not been done in any of the adaptations and I would love to explore that with Will Graham and Hannibal Lecter. I'm hoping that someday, whether it's a year from now ... two years from now ... that we will continue to get to tell that story. I feel like if Will Graham did survive that plunge, his most interesting chapter is yet to be told."
