Red Dragon

I knew I wasn't losing it:

The story has been filmed twice. The first film, released in 1986 under the title Manhunter, was directed by Michael Mann and focused on FBI Special Agent Will Graham, played by William Petersen. Lecter was played by Brian Cox. The second film, which used the title Red Dragon, appeared in 2002. Directed by Brett Ratner and written by Ted Tally (who also wrote the screenplay for Silence of the Lambs), it starred Edward Norton as Graham and Anthony Hopkins as Lecter — a role he had, by then, played twice before in The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal. This film was followed by Young Hannibal.

Michael Mann also did "Miami Vice." I knew the film had come out LONG before the Anthony Hopkins version of Hannibal.
