The Profile

British film director known for directing Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) and Hannibal Rising (2007).

Directed feature films including Girl with a Pearl Earring and Hannibal Rising; works span drama and thriller genres.

The available review (Hellring) is strongly negative about Peter Webber's Hannibal Rising, criticising Thomas Harris's screenplay, the casting of Gaspard Ulliel and the film's lack of originality or cinematic value. The review calls the story "full of holes" and questions the purpose of revisiting Lecter's youth. Overall the coverage focuses on failure of execution rather than technical aspects.
