Film Weekly

In this week's movie podcast from Jason Solomons, salivate over a lip smacking Hannibal special - Peter Webber, director of the latest Hannibal film joins us direct from the red carpet as Hannibal Rising premiers in New York. We also have an interview with the original Hannibal Lecter, British actor Brian Cox, who starred in Michael Mann's 1986 film Manhunter and can currently be found in Running with Scissors with Annette Bening and Gwyneth Paltrow. Plus, we'll be giving away a rare signed copy of Thomas Harris's novel Hannibal Rising.

Almost as scary as Hannibal is Magwitch in David Lean's Great Expectations, a film which receives a superb restoration this week - we discuss the art of making the classics shine anew with Andrea Kallas (head of preservation at the British Film Institute) who's in charge of polishing up their Dickens.

And, we review all the week's movies, including a soulful Beyonce in Dreamgirls and an almost Dickensian Judi Dench in Notes on a Scandal.
