Ageing Azkaban rumours

[Felicia Rickmann]

Although Rachel's reaction is a bit graphic I must concur with her and other
similar sentiments.  Richard O'Brien, effective though he is in certain
roles, is not a serious candidate for a HP film, he does carry a powerful
amount of *baggage* with him.

Similarly, although a serious and reputable actor, I had not considered
Jeremy Irons, simply because I thought him old.  (Regardless of his being
the same age as Alan Rickman etc., etc.,).

It is, as far as I can see, easy enough to *age* people in cinema make up
terms but removing decades takes plastic surgery, backlighting and fuzzy
filters!

However, Snape is supposed to be 35 and looks a tad older, perhaps with they
feel Jeremy Irons can get away with it.

Still, I think Jason Carter might be in with a fighting chance, he can act,
and can be made to look haggard and old, or haggard and younger as time goes
by, a much easier task for any make up department.
