The Silence Of The Lambs.The revelation comes as new TV series Clarice, a spin-off of the legendary 1991 film, gets ready to air in the US this month.“With Silence of the Lambs, I was trepidatious,” Pfeiffer told the New Yorker in a new interview. “There was such evil in that film.“The thing I most regret is missing the opportunity to do another film with [director] Jonathan [Demme].”Singling out the film’s finale as a particular stumbling block to her participation, she added: “It was that evil won in the end, that at the end of the film evil ruled out.
