Alan Rickman Talks ‘Alice in Wonderland’
In a recent interview with Movies Online, Alan Rickman talked a little about Tim Burton‘s Alice in Wonderland, and his roll in the upcoming film.
MoviesOnline: What are you playing in Alice in Wonderland?
ALAN RICKMAN: The caterpillar.
MoviesOnline: A caterpillar? How do you get into something like that?
ALAN RICKMAN: Well, fortunately it’s animated.
MoviesOnline: Oh, okay.
ALAN RICKMAN: But it’s my face on an animated caterpillar. So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before.
MoviesOnline: Oh, I don’t think so. No.
ALAN RICKMAN: So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.
MoviesOnline: Who is the Alice that you’re playing opposite?
ALAN RICKMAN: Mia [Wasikowska] is her name. I don’t know her surname. I met her yesterday because they’re shooting right here. If you make yourself into the invisible person, you can go in and have a look. She’s a young 19-year-old, apparently absolutely brilliant and certainly delightful person.
Something I’ve been complaining about for years it the overuse of CGI in movies, I’m thrilled that they are using stop-motion animation for parts of Alice, I’m sure it will be amazing. And I can’t imagine a better voice saying “Whooo aaarreee yooouuuu?”
