“The 46-year-old actor joins Anne Hathaway, Matt Lucas, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry and Helena Bonham Carter in the eagerly-anticipated movie.”

Sounds fun. I’m kind of a Tim Burton fan (isn’t he married to Helena Bonham-Carter?)

Also a big Alan Rickman fan. He is the best Harry Potter character (Snape). He always steals the show.

Yep. And you can’t even begin to typecast Johnny Depp into any type of character. The guy is just plain talented.

Yes, Tim Burton is married to Helena Bonham-Carter.

I still remember the first time I saw Alan Rickman, in a Masterpiece Theater production of The Bishop of Barchester (I believe that was the name of it.)

Anyway, he played a slimy Reverend named Slope, and was absolutely great in that role. He has made a good living playing the bad guy.

..."eagerly-anticipated"? You mean because Disney did such a sucky job?

I loved Rickman till he started blabbing Leftist dogma in interviews and then he produced that play in the UK about the American activist who got bulldozed in Gaza. Now I can't see him without seeing just another Marxist goon with a posh accent.
