Carla Gugino, the sexy star of Zac Snyder’s Sucker Punch and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City, is the latest Hollywood babe to make Esquire’s “Women We Love” feature. The 40-year-old stunner even goes nude for photographer Kayt Jones.

This being Esquire, however, the shots are pretty tasteful …  so you may want to keep things classy by using a Burberry fringed cashmere muffler while  “enjoying” the pictures.

Gugino will soon be seen in TNT’s small-screen adaptation of author Lisa Gardner’s bestselling crime-thriller Hide. She plays protagonist D.D. Warren, a detective investigating the mummified remains of six missing women found inside a buried chamber at an abandoned mental hospital.

Newly launched production house Gaumont International Television is cooking up an hour-long crime drama set around the early days of Hannibal Lecter, the notorious cannibal/serial killer first introduced in the Thomas Harris novels “Red Dragon” and “Silence of the Lambs.”

Bryan Fuller, creator of ABC’s Emmy-winning series “Pushing Daisies” and—one of my personal favorites—Showtime’s “Dead Like Me,” is penning the “Hannibal” series, which will reportedly focus on the cat-and-mouse relationship between Lecter and FBI agent Will Graham.

Fuller has also written for “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” and NBC’s “Heroes.” He also adapted Stephen King’s Carrie for the small screen in 2002.
