Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Quirky, engaging filmmaker who looks at genre films from a skewed perspective. A
former critic and publicist, he got his start, as did so many others, with prolific producer
Roger Corman, writing and/or producing such epics as Angels Hard as They Come (1971)
and Black Mama, White Mama (1972). He directed three films for Corman: Caged Heat
(1974, which he also wrote), Crazy Mama (1975), and Fighting Mad (1976, which he also wrote), all x-and-violence mellers, but leavened with an offbeat n of humor. His first film on his own was Citizens' Band (1977), a piquant study of CB radio operators. Despite rave reviews, it did no business at all (one New York theater ran it for free and still nobody came), even after its title was changed to Handle With Care.

After a superb Hitchcock-style thriller, Last Embrace (1979), came Melvin and Howard (1980), a fantasia on the life of would-be Howard Hughes beneficiary Melvin Dummar. Despite more glowing notices and two Oscars, it too was a complete bust. Demme's first brush with Big Hollywood Stars, the Goldie Hawn vehicle Swing Shift (1984) was a career low point, but he bounced back with the extraordinary Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sen (also 1984). His reputation (and the gross) grew with the unhinged comedy-thrillers Something Wild (1986) and Married to the Mob (1988), as well as Miami Blues (1990), which he produced. (He also directed another performance film, Spalding Gray's Swimming to Cambodia in 1987.) His commercial breakthrough finally came with the outstanding nail-biter The Silence of the Lambs (1991), which earned him an Oscar as Best Director. Typical of Demme's generosity toward young filmmakers, he spoke of exciting new talent in the directing ranks while giving his thank-you speech. Since then he's directed an extremely personal documentary about a most unusual member of his family, Cousin Bobby (1992), executive produced Houhold Saints (1993), and tackled the difficult subject of AIDS in Philadelphia (1993).

Jodie Foster was the cond choice that Jonathan Demme had for this role. Jodie came into an audition interview ssion and explained how this role was similar to the type of roles which she had been so successful at and that she was interested in this female character, which was a role reversal. Meaning that here we have a woman as a hero rather than a victim, pursuer rather than pursued.
When Ted Tally was writing the screenplay for the film, he suggested Jodie Foster for role of Clarice Starling. Foster had been lobbying hard for the part from the start but when Jonathan Demme was hired to direct the film, he felt she was wrong for the part and wanted Michelle Pfeiffer instead. Pfeiffer turned the part down becau she felt the film was too violent. Demme then agreed to meet Foster and hired her after only one meeting becau he said he could e her strength and determination for the part that he felt was perfect for the character of Clarice. When Jonathan Demme took over as director, he offered the role of Clarice first to Michelle Pfeiffer and also to Meg Ryan. Robert Duvall was considered for the role of Hannibal Lecter,
and Jeremy Irons turned it down. The role of Hannibal Lecter was originally offered to Brian Cox (who played the role in Manhunter (1986)).
The inspiration for the Silence of the Lambs was the real life relationship between University of Washington criminology professor and profiler Robert Keppel and real life rial killer Ted Bundy. Bundy helped Keppel in his investigation of the Green River Serial Killings in Washington. While Bundy was executed 24 January 1989, the Green River Killings went unsolved until 2001 when Gary Ridgway was arrested. On 5 November 2003, Ridgway pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated first degree murder in a King County, Washington (Seattle) courtroom.
Jodie Foster, Jonathan Demme and Scott Glenn - and a few other cast and crew members - did a great deal of rearch at the FBI training facility in Quantico, Virginia. They studied under criminal profiling agents, learned about firearms and agent training, and sat in on a number of class.

Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Inten, talented young woman who determination and artistic daring have made her one of the top actress in Hollywood. Foster's career began early; as a child model and performer, she was managed by her mother-who, among other accomplishments, got young Jodie a modeling job as one of the bare-bottomed tykes in the Coppertone ads. Her first film was Napoleon and Samantha (1972), a Disney outing that cast her as a runaway. By the time she was a teenager, Foster already had veral Hollywood pictures to her credit, including One Little Indian (1973), Tom Sawyer (1973), Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1975), and Echoes of a Summer (1976), in addition to three interesting films: an early Martin Scor
picture, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974), playing a tough tomboy; Bugsy Malone (1976), a gangster spoof cast entirely with children, in which she plays a tough dame who's pelted with whipped cream "bullets" in the finale; and Freaky Friday (1977), an amusing Disney comedy in which she switched identities with onscreen mom Barbara Harris. (She also costarred with Helen Hayes and David Niven in another 1977 Disney comedy, Candleshoe) Scor, impresd with Foster, cast her as a teenaged prostitute opposite Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver (1976). Foster's startling performance in that film brought her more attention than she ever could have imagined. In addition to earning an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, her portrayal made Foster the object of
obssive fixation for one John Hinckley, who attempted to assassinate President Reagan on her behalf. By then, Foster had enrolled at Yale University, where she studied literature (and not acting: Foster is an instinctual actress and has never received formal theatrical training). During school vacations, she managed to appear in veral features, including Carny (1980), Foxes (1980), and The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), before graduating in 1985. Already fascinated by behind-the-camera work, Foster coproduced one of her starring vehicles, 1986's Mesmerized She delivered mature, accomplished performances in the little-en Siesta (1987), Five Corners and Stealing Hom
e (both 1988). But it was as a lower-class rape victim defending her character in The Accud (1988) that Foster galvanized audiences and won herlf a Best Actress Oscar-a feat she repeated in 1991 for her portrayal of federal agent Clarice Starling in the megahit thriller The Silence of the Lambs making her one of Hollywood's hottest properties. Having made her directorial debut with an episode of TV's "Tales from the Darkside," she entered the feature-film arena with Little Man Tate (1991). As director and star, Foster turned in an exceptional job, telling the story of a child prodigy-a character with whom she could certainly empathize. Her cameo in Woody Allen's Shadows and Fog (1992) brought Foster back to a role she'd played at age 12: a prostitute. She costarred with Richard Gere in Sommersby (1993) giving another affecting performance, and appeared in 1994's Maverick. Foster scored another Best Actress nomination for her portrayal of a backwoodswoman in Nell (1994), the first film made by her own company, Egg Productions. She then directed Home for the Holidays.

The opening scene was to be a woman crashing through a door and taking on a terrorist in a rehearsal situation, similar to the scene which follows this one, however,
Jodie Foster was able to convince them that she needed to be en in
training first.
Jonathan Demme stated that Jodie was in such great physical shape for
this role, she was able to climb that rope fence with the same amount of
energy on take twenty as she did on the first take.期盼近义词
00:2:54 This gentleman running here is a real FBI agent who acted in
the film, the sign on the tree is what is really located here on their
training track, it was not a t decoration.
0:03:03 The motto for the FBI is prent on this tree, HURT, AGONY, PAIN, LOVE IT, of cour this was the same motto for my failed marriage.
0:03:29 Jodie Foster attended this school in Quantico, West Virginia, to learn how to (1) shoot, (2) finger printing and (3) autopsies and to meet the individuals who study here.
Jodie Foster enrolled in John Douglas‟s class on Serial Killers and their patterns. What Jodie Foster learned by attending and visiting this school is that there are people in this world that really do want to make this world a better and safer place for all of us. They want to be part of the solution and not a part of the problem with society today. Jodie Foster herlf stated that she is a rvice oriented per
sonality. She always had to have good grades in school, she always had to be on time, never missing anything, and is she was late she would break out in hives. Which is nice becau it matches the character of Clarice Starling in the film, there are veral similarities to the character she is playing and Jodie Fosters real personality.
0:04:13 John Douglas, an FBI agent who worked on this production as a consultant, stated that only about one out of a dozen agents is a woman, and so this is illustrated in the elevator shot.
Jonathan Demme stated that he had a strong loyalty to the book, by Thomas Harris, which was his guiding point in making the film, and the strength that is en on screen, comes from the book.
Factual errors: Clarice claims to have double-majored in criminology and psychology at the University of Virginia. Criminology has never been a major offered at UVA.
Continuity: Jack Crawford's collar pops in and out of his vest during a conversation with Clarice Starling.
Biography for Thomas Harris (author)
Date of birth 1940, Jackson, Mississippi, USA
Mini biography Thomas Harris was born in 1940 in Jackson, Mississippi, USA. He was raid in the
nearby town of Rich where his father worked as a farmer. He earned his bachelor's degree in English
from Baylor University in Texas in 1964. While attending school he also worked for the local
newspaper. After graduating, Harris traveled Europe for a time. Back in the USA, he worked for the
Associated Press out of New York. Not coincidentally, his duties for the press included covering
murders and other crimes. This helped fuel his imagination in the fictional world and he began to
write macabre stories for magazines that began to show his attention for detail that would make his
subquent novels so popular. In 1975 he wrote his first novel, Black Sunday, about a diabolical plot
to kill thousands with a blimp during the Superbowl. Perhaps ahead of his time, the terrorism of 11
September, 2001 led to many stadiums being turned into no-fly zones due to fears of a similar attack.
The book was turned into a film - Black Sunday (1977) - a very short two years after being published.
Following its success, he devoted his career entirely to fictional novelization. In 1981, Harris wrote
his first book in the Hannibal Lector trilogy, Red Dragon. Though the character of Lector did not
become famous (or infamous, as the ca may be) for another decade, the book did spark a looly-
bad movie, Manhunter (1986), which was quickly dismisd at first, grossing back only about half
its cost. Then in 1988, Harris wrote another novel about the character Lector, The Silence of the Lambs. This time he gave the character more of a prence, although he still did not dominate the book. When this was turned into a film three years later as Silence of the Lambs, The (1991), it became an instant hit and swept the "big 5" at the Academy Awards, becoming only the third movie to do so. After the success of The Silence of the Lambs in both movie and book form, there became a growing demand among fans - and film producer Dino De Laurentiis - for there to be another chapter in the Hannibal Lector ries. It took 11 years between novels, but Harris finally delivered again in 1999 with best-lling novel Hannibal. It was made into a film two years later in Hannibal (2001) and, although dismisd by some critics and fans for straying from the book in parts, it t opening records in box office sales for an R-rated film. Becau of the large box office take and the fact that Anthony Hopkins, who won an Oscar for his role in the cond Lector film, did not play Lector in Manhunter (1986), De Laurentiis and Harris came to terms to make a cond version of the
first book, this time properly titled Red Dragon (2002). This film version was more in keeping with the book than
