No spoilers Re: Alan Rickman's new movie

Carol:
Well, I'm a Book!Snape fan first and foremost, but Rickman!Snape is so
sexy/sinister, such a pleasure to watch and listen to, and yet has so
little screen time for a character of such importance that I find
myself compensating by watching more Alan Rickman. And I admire actors
who can lose themselves in a role instead of always playing themselves.

Potioncat:
> He has a good amount of screen time in this movie. There are 3 or 4
story lines running through the film and his character touches on a
couple. It sounds like you're interested enough that seeing it in the
theater would be worth while.

was for 'Noble Son' another Rickman movie. That one looks good! Very
snarky Rickman.

he's playing.

Potioncat:

for the movie's plot, his character's age was unimportant. Not like
HP, for instance.

Carol:
I think I read (or saw) the same interview (the video interview was
highly entertaining, if you haven't seen it yet, and touches lightly
on Snape). I was actually thinking of Ian McKellen playing Richard
III. As if Shekespeare's play weren't sufficiently unhistorical, they
change the setting to an imagined Fascist Britain in the 1930s and
have an actor in his mid-fifties playing a man who died at thirty-two.
