Comic-Con 2013: ‘Hannibal’ Panel Set For Thursday, July 18th
Try as I might, I just never got around to watching the NBC series Hannibal as of yet. I attempted the first episode when it originally aired, but low and behold the Sandman got the best of me that ill fated night. However, I have heard grand things about the series! And it’s even been picked up for a second season. So you know things must be going good for it! So I’m pleased to present you with our first Comic-Con 2013 post of the year as Gaumont International Television has announced their attendance at this year’s spectacular with a panel entitled “Hannibal: Feed Your Fear,” which will feature Bryan Fuller, David Slade, Martha De Laurtentiis and Hugh Dancy. The panel is set for July 18th at 6:45pm – 7:45pm. Check out the full press release below for more information!
