The British Film Institute has provided us with a brand new trailer for the recent 4K restoration of director Jonathan Demme's classic thriller The Silence of the Lambs (1991), starring Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Lawrence A. Bonney, Kasi Lemmons, Lawrence T. Wrentz, and Scott Glenn.
The 4K restoration will open in theaters across the United Kingdom on November 3 as part of the UK-wide BFI Thriller season.
In the United States, the 4K restoration will be released on Blu-ray by the Criterion Collection in early 2018.
Synopsis: FBI agent Clarice Starling, a specialist in serial killers, is fresh out of training and on the hunt for psychopathic murderer Buffalo Bill before his female body count rises. She adopts a high-risk strategy in visiting the imprisoned, dangerous and highly intelligent psychiatrist Dr Hannibal Lecter for his insight, but Lecter wants something in return from her that goes far beyond the acceptable. In Lecter and Starling author Thomas Harris created an unforgettable duo, and Hopkins and Foster perfectly capture this disturbing relationship on screen. Showered with awards upon its release, this is one of the great thrillers of the last 30 years, and remains as vital and horrific today.
