New Hannibal Lecter novel coming to a bookstore near you, and then a theater, of course.
Given where they left Clarice in the book vs. the movie, I think any film version is going to be in name only.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
It's a prequel, so cue more embarrassing pony-tail action from Gammon Hopkins.

JP Rowling reveals some chapter titles for book 6.
(I went to the website but so far nothing is happening there. Perhaps the clue is no longer up!)

I'm trying to figure out how Octavia Butler's books all connect to each other. I just started Mind of My Mind and it seems to be in the same universe as Wild Seed, which I also just picked up recently but haven't read yet. Are the stories connected at all, and is there one I should read before the other? What other books are set in this universe? I know that Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago make up the Lilith's Brood trilogy, and the two Parable books are connected, and AFAIK Kindred and Bloodchild stand on their own. Which ones am I forgetting? Do any of the series intersect with the other series at all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What you know as Lilith's Brood I think of as Xenogenesis (I got to it before they were published together). Then there's the Patternist universe:
- Patternmaster
- Mind of My Mind
- Survivor
- Wild Seed
- Clay's Ark
Bloodchild, the anthology, may have a story that touches on some of her other work -- I don't recall. Kindred is entirely alone.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Also, the Parables books are a third universe (IIRC) -- Parable of the Sower, Parable of the Talents. I sort of expect a 3rd in that series, because everybody seems to have a thing for trilogies and more. Is it because "duology" is an awkward word? Don't know.

Oh, that's right, I've seen them referred to by that name as well. Thanks. Do you think it's OK to read the Patternist books out of order, or should I put down Mind of My Mind until I've read Patternmaster?

The Patternist books are very loosely connected (I edited my post to take out "series" and put in "collection" for that very reason). I wouldn't worry about order.
The other books are more sequential, but you should be fine.
