British actor Sir Anthony Hopkins A spokeswoman from film-makers Universal said: "Sir Anthony Hopkins and director Ridley Scott are both very committed. We like what we've got, and the revised script is really, really good."EPA/ANDREW GOMBERTThe 71-year-old actor - who starred in 'The Silence of the Lambs', 'Hannibal' and most recently 2002's 'Red Dragon' - will reprise his role as the cannibalistic serial killer for a fourth time in the upcoming horror directed by Sir Ridley Scott.A spokeswoman from film-makers Universal said: "Sir Anthony Hopkins and director Ridley Scott are both very committed. We like what we've got, and the revised script is really, really good."However, Hollywood actress Jodie Foster, 46 - who starred alongside Hopkins in the original 1991 thriller - will reportedly be absent from the latest instalment.A film source said: "We've decided that we're not going to reapproach Jodie. We are trying to come up with the right lead to replace Jodie and are putting together a list of candidates."It has been reported Cate Blanchett has been lined up to star alongside the Hollywood veteran instead.Movie insiders are convinced the film will be a huge success.Another source told the New York Post newspaper: "I think Hopkins' involvement raises the quality of the film considerably. Cate is a very respected actress, and she's obviously been in the industry for a long time. In terms of pedigree, Cate would probably bring as much to the film as Foster did."

Horse pucky.....winslett or anyone replacing Foster.

I waited and waited for this sequel to re-team Foster with hopkins.

Now ...who cares!!!!

YOU CANNOT REPLACE FOSTER...Silence of the lambs was what it was because of the CHEMISTRY!!!!

Hollywood is just pushing this out now to bank a few bucks.

SHAME!!!!

wait for foster after she finishes Flora Plum..... what is a year to make a great film and finish the series with a bang!??

Man!!!....it sickens me...... Hannibal would have been 100 times better in 2001 with Fosters presence alone.....no dis on Julianne Moore..but so TRUE!
