Thoughts on Alan Rickman

For what it’s worth, Richard Horgan at FilmStew has a nice, spot-on little piece up in his “Hollywood Spin” blog about Alan Rickman, his deft touch with villainy and his mellifluous voice. It’s a quickie, drive-by sort of piece, but it raises my hopes a little for Nobel Son, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year and is still wandering around with its hat in its hand. Also, Horgan is right about Rickman’s distinctive, perfectly smooth voice — the guy should totally be scoring all kinds of voicework.
