 The script was refined further by director Val Guest , who cut 30 pages from Landau 's script . One of Guest 's key contributions to the script was to tailor the dialogue to suit the brusque style of star Brian Donlevy . With an American actor cast as Quatermass , Guest reverted Briscoe to a British character and reinstated Quatermass 's title of professor . Guest also adapted some sections of the script in response to the concerns of the BBFC . Further stylistic changes were sought by the BBC who retained a script approval option after the sale of the rights and asked Nigel Kneale to work on their suggested changes , much to his indignation . Kneale was tasked with rewriting any scenes featuring BBC announcers to match the BBC 's news reporting style .

 The part of Mason Verger , one of Lecter 's two surviving victims , was originally offered to Christopher Reeve based on his work as a wheelchair @-@ bound police officer in Above Suspicion ( 1995 ) . Not having read the novel , Reeve showed initial interest in the role , but ultimately declined upon realizing that Verger was a quadriplegic , facially @-@ disfigured child rapist . The part was later accepted by secondary choice Gary Oldman . Co @-@ producer Martha De Laurentiis claimed they had a " funny situation " with Oldman wanting a prominent " credit " . She said : " Now how can you have a prominent credit with Hannibal ? The characters are Hannibal and Clarice Starling . So we really couldn ’ t work something out ( at first ) . " Oldman was apparently " out " of the film for a while , but then came back in , asking to go " unbilled " . Oldman would become transformed and " unrecognizable as himself " to play the part of Verger . He would have no lips , cheeks or eyelids . Make @-@ up artist Greg Cannom said : " It 's really disgusting ... I 've been showing people pictures [ of Oldman as Verger ] , and they all just say ' Oh my God , ' and walk away , which makes me very happy . " Oldman said that having his name completely removed from the billing and credits allowed him to " do it anonymously " under the heavy make @-@ up . In home @-@ release versions of the film , Oldman 's name is included in the closing credits .
