the silence of the lambs
dino de laurentiis produced michael mann's film "manhunter" in 1986, based on harris's 1981 novel "red dragon", featuring the first appearance of hannibal lecter, played by brian cox. de laurentiis did not like mann's film: ""manhunter" was no good ... it was not "red dragon"," he said. de laurentiis and his wife martha (also his co-producer) had no direct involvement in "the silence of the lambs", a decision de laurentiis came to regret. they did, however, own the rights to the lecter character and reportedly allowed orion pictures, which produced "the silence of the lambs", to use the character of lecter for free, not wishing to be "greedy". when "the silence of the lambs" became a commercial and critical success in 1991, winning five academy awards, both dino and martha de laurentiis found themselves sitting on a valuable asset and eager for a follow-up novel they could adapt. after a lengthy wait, de laurentiis finally received a call from harris telling him he had finished the sequel to "the silence of the lambs" and de laurentiis purchased the rights for a record $10 million.
