Benedict Cumberbatch should have been cast in Harry Potter as Hermione’s patronus.

No, that is just Alan Rickman in a black wig and a pair of red tights playing King Louis XIV of France in his sophomore directorial effort A Little Chaos.

Roll on October!

The first trailer for the Coen brothers-scripted crime comedy film Gambit starring Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz and Alan Rickman. Features the three leads in various states of undress.

Another short snippet from Gambit. You can see and hear Colin Firth at 44 seconds, no Alan Rickman this time.

Alan Rickman playing CBGB founder Hilly Kristal. Nobody can say he does not make brave choices when it comes to his acting career. Now where did I see that wig before?

Based on a scene from the 1999 film Galaxy Quest. I sincerely hope Alan Rickman does not feel this way about his role in Harry Potter.
