Hannibal-and-Starling-sitting-in-a-tree? No, thanks. And Foster agrees with me FWIW.

I read Silence and Red Dragon before I saw either film. My overall sense is that Harris lost touch with the characters as they'd evolved once they hit the screen. Perhaps he created them first, but he wasn't their only creator.

He's still free to do as he pleases between the covers of his books, but there are other creative inputs of equal importance when bringing them to film.
