A new trailer for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been released! A number of Harry Potter stars are in the film as I have posted earlier this year in April.   Helena Bonham Carter … The Red Queen, Alan Rickman … The Caterpillar, Stephen Fry … The Cheshire Cat, Timothy Spall … The Bloodhound, Frances de la Tour … Aunt Imogene.  View the trailer below:

UPDATE: The trailer has been removed from youtube 🙁

If you recall, in October I posted about Helena Bonham Carter being cast in Tim Burtons adaption of Alice in Wonderland.  Now a bunch more Potter actors are in the film.

• Helena Bonham Carter … The Red Queen
• Alan Rickman … The Caterpillar
• Stephen Fry … The Cheshire Cat
• Timothy Spall … The Bloodhound

The movie will be released on March 5th 2010.

SciFi has a new interview with Alan Rickman and he discusses Deathly Hallows.

“Well, it’ll be a big finish, won’t it?” Rickman said. “That’s true, and appropriately. You can feel it now, the size of the undertaking. Watching Daniel [Radcliffe], I saw a trailer for him being on Inside the Actor’s Studio, and you think, ‘Wait a minute, he’s 12! Oh. Perhaps he isn’t.'”

The new production schedule also affects Rickman personally. “Well, because they have to get me and Ralph Fiennes together, it means I don’t start shooting it until the end of next year, which means I get room now in this coming year,” he said. “So it’s going to be long. I was talking to Helena yesterday. I think she starts in June, and she goes on for a long time.”

Robbie Coltrane (Hagrid) and Alan Rickman (Snape) have contributed inscriptions to classic books as part of Book Aid International‘s auction to benefit sub-Saharan Africa work by the foundation. 

Robbie signed Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn, while Alan signed Walter Murch’s In the Blink of an Eye. Head over to SS to see photos!

Thanks SS!

Alan Rickman did a new interview while promoting Bottle Shock. He tried not to talk about Harry Potter but did a bit. And the not very smart Host woman, sort of ruined the last book if people hadn’t read it and Alan was like “shh! i try not to talk to much about that because there are little kids out there that are only on book one or two and they don’t want to know what happens in the end”

thanks SS!

I was just watching Project Runway and a commercial for a movie called Bottle Shock came on and I heard a familiar voice, Alan Rickman! He is playing a character called Steven Spurrier.

The story of the early days of California wine making featuring the now infamous, blind Paris wine tasting of 1976 that has come to be known as “Judgment of Paris”.

The movie will be having a limited run in the United States starting August 8th.
