Keital To Star As Norton's Mentor

[Monday, November 19th, 2001]
Harvey Keitel has been added to the cast of Universal Pictures' 'Red Dragon' for director Brett Ratner, reports Hollywood Reporter. Anthony Hopkins is reprising his role as psychiatrist-cannibal Dr. Hannibal Lecter for the film, which is based on Thomas Harris' 1981 best-selling crime-thriller novel of the same name.

Ted Tally adapted the screenplay, which centers on a serial killer called Red Dragon who is on the loose, bringing FBI agent Will Graham (Edward Norton) out of retirement because he has a special talent for catching such killers.

Keitel will play the role of Crawford, a veteran FBI agent who is Graham's mentor. Philip Seymour Hoffman will play a tabloid reporter, while Mary-Louise Parker will play Graham's wife.

The movie is scheduled to go into production in January.
