Hannibal Hopkins & Sir Anthony

What destined this young boy from Wales to become the incarnation of absolute evil when he took on the role of cinema’s most notorious serial killer? How do you get from the bricks of Port Talbot, a poor, grim industrial town, to the lush palm trees of Hollywood, California? This is the story of a well-known actor: Anthony Hopkins, after a career spanning over 60 years and his involvement in more than 300 movies.

If his performance as Hannibal Lecter changed his life forever, it is his extraordinary life and fate that would make him the most “British” actor in Hollywood. The actor is a workaholic, as if the wheel of fortune was never to stop.  That is the man we will follow through the stories of everyone that has known him well and worked with him, from Jodie Foster to Oliver Stone and Brad Pitt, in order to get a clearer understanding of this young boy with an unusual fate, who was born in a remote village of Great Britain and that nothing really predestined to such a prestigious career, this ambivalent man of dual nature whose dark side seems to have shaped him, forever.
