AlloCini reports that French actor Gaspard Ulliel (A Very Long Engagement) is a candidate to play the title role in director Peter Webber's Young Hannibal, a prequel to the Hannibal Lecter series which tells the story of the formative years of Lecter, revealing the origins of the now legendary character.
