| Special Features: |
- Audio Commentary: Director Ridley Scott opens by speaking on the process of translating the original novel for the screen and continues to discuss editing, plot points, characters and performances, shooting locations, working with the FBI, and much more. Scott speaks in a very even cadence and delivers a wealth of information that sometimes falls into discussing shots in detail while also offering more broad stroke insights.
- Breaking the Silence: The Making of Hannibal (480i, 1:15:11): A comprehensive exploration of the filmmaking process, beginning with the developmental process and moving on to explore technical aspects of the production, shooting locations, makeup and visual effects, score, the Hannibal Lecter character, and much more, all explored in great detail. The piece ends with a lengthy video taken at the film's premiere.
- Anatomy of a Shoot-Out: A Five-Angle Breakdown of the "Fish Market" Action Scene (480i, 47:46): As the title suggests, this supplement explores the making of one of the film's key scenes from several different perspectives, offering the viewer the opportunity to explore "the technical and creative choices made in terms of cinematography" as the piece states up-front.
- Ridleygrams: A Featurette on the Art of Storyboarding (480i, 9:11): A look at some of the director's own storyboard artwork for the film. In the piece, he discusses his process.
