A penis and a human-head replica have been stolen from the set of Hannibal Rising, and the movie's director's going to check on the internet to see if it comes up for sell.
A rubber penis and fake severed head have been stolen from the set of new
horror film 'Hannibal Rising'.
The movie's director Peter Webber revealed the theft and is convinced the
guilty party is planning on selling them.
He said: "There's a character called Dortlich whose head is severed during
the course of the movie. It was stolen by someone. There's also a scene with
a body that Hannibal Lecter is working on. It's a full-size replica human
body, including the genitals. Somebody took the genitals - they had to cut
them off. So someone somewhere has got a large rubber penis and a rubber
head."
Webber is going to check internet auction site eBay to see if they turn up.
The movie is a prequel to the trilogy of Hannibal Lecter films, which
starred Sir Anthony Hopkins as the cannibalistic serial killer.
It is based on Thomas Harris' book of the same name and stars Gaspard Ulliel
as the murderer in his early years.
