The movie is to be directed by Brett Ratnet ('Rush Hour', 'Rush Hour 2'), and is to star Anthony Hopkins, Edward Norton, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Harvey Keitel, Mary-Louise Parker and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The book previously was adapted for film in 1986 under the title Manhunter, starring Brian Cox as Lecter.
The new script for Red Dragon was written by Ted Tally, who won an Oscar for the screenplay of 1991's The Silence of the Lambs, which won the best-picture Academy Award and earned Hopkins an Oscar in his first Lecter outing. Hopkins reprised the role in Hannibal, released last winter.
