"Hannibal" Creator Wants to Remake "The Silence of the Lambs" with Zendaya

Brian Fuller is planning to turn the story from Thomas Harris's novel into a miniseries.

The director shared this with ScreenRant. According to him, while he sees Zendaya as Clarice Starling, he'd want Mads Mikkelsen for Hannibal Lecter. As you'll remember, Mikkelsen played the intellectual cannibal in Fuller's "Hannibal" series.
