Did you know

• Sir Anthony Hopkins showed up on the set during one of his off days just so he could watch Philip Seymour Hoffman work. The two actors shared no scenes in this movie.
• Ralph Fiennes gained fifteen pounds of muscle for the role of Francis Dolarhyde.

FAQ
- What did Dolarhyde believe he was transforming his victims into?
- Why are all of Lecter's cell row mates from Silence of the Lambs missing? They were, especially Miggs, quite vocal. It just seems unlikely they were all admitted right after the events of this movie end.
- What prompted Will Graham to go to the Dolarhyde Nursing Home after he had gone to the Jacobi home?
