| | | Alan Rickman to play lead in 'Snow Cake'
Alan Rickman, also known as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films, has just agreed to play the lead in a film called 'Snow Cake'. According to the Welsh director, Marc Evans, the character aptly named 'Alan' was written with the British actor in mind.
The director's diary can be found here. Quote: |
Snow Cake (as the title suggests) requires snow, which probably means that it will be shot in Canada. But it is very much a British project, written by a first-time British screenplay writer called Angela Pell. And it is quite the most terrific thing that I have read in a very long time.

Alan Rickman has already committed to play the male lead - a character called Alan, written with him in mind. Through him we have managed to get the script to Sigourney Weaver (they met while making Galaxy Quest), and she has responded favourably. Very favourably, we think.
| Quote: |
This is how films are made, through a combination of diligence and stealth. And some serendipity. In this case, Alan Rickman's ambassadorial talents have been key.
