Today, Mr. Alan Rickman has been away for three years, to share with you a short article by Looper about Alan Rickman's little secrets that elms Rickman did not know, and then to review the classic characters created by Allen before his death. Although Ellen went to another world, he would be with us forever in other forms. After all this time？ Always.
As a true theatrical performance artist, Rickman's film career was secondary to his love of the stage and his quest to be "in danger", and he would have appeared in more films if the temptation in theatrical performances had not been so strong.
He almost lost touch with Snape
J.K. Rowling actually created the role of Severus Snape around the role of Alan Rickman, and before she imagined that her series of novels would be a huge success, Rowling was willing to accept the studio's first choice, asking Tim Rose to play Snape, but Rose decided to star in Tim Burton's film Showdown with Apes, and due to scheduling reasons, he failed to accept an invitation from Rowling Studio, which made Alan Rickman our Snape Professor.
He knew the ending of Harry Potter before anyone else
In order to allow him to understand his character more effectively, Rowling told Alan Rickman the true story about Severus Snape in advance when no one else knew about it, even before she wrote the entire work herself. As a result, Rickman would occasionally, out of his own understanding of the character, make performances that ran counter to the director's orders and let them understand that "he knows something they don't know." Ultimately, since Rickman is quite good at keeping secrets, this makes Snape one of the most compelling characters in the entire series.
He barely managed to play Hans Gruber
Rickman was not interested in appearing in action films early in his career, as he had already made his mark on conservative British-style films such as The Barchester Chronicles (1982) and Summer Season (1985). The villain of Die Hard (1988), Hans Gruber, eventually became his famous character, and he chose this role only because the script was cleverly conceived. He even came up with the brilliant idea of wearing a suit instead of a non-full set of terrorist gear, with the potential to be taken hostage to meet the protagonist, and although producer Joel Silver initially objected to Rickman's suggestion, the script was eventually revised and accepted Rickman's suggestion.
He really jumped from a tall building on his own
It's a very classic scene with a look of horror on Hans Gruber's face as he jumps from the Nakatomi Mansion, but you may not know that he was performing in person, and he would jump from 25 feet to 3 feet above the ground, but director Johann McTien decided to let him jump 1 more foot. It is conceivable that what will happen if an accident occurs during the filming process, so the expression on Rickman's face is the true performance.
He wasn't really a cellist
Rickman showed a crazy cello performance in his 1990 film Truly, Madly, Deeply, but he wasn't actually playing it. Rickman did take cello lessons specifically for the role, but mastering an instrument was a less easy task, so a real cellist assisted in the shoot.
He may become a visual artist
Before choosing a career in acting, Rickman attended two art schools and co-founded the Notting Hill Herald, a London tabloid that championed left-wing careers. According to Rickman, he also created a design studio called Graphiti, which worked on designing smoky album covers from the '70s. Rickman believed that art was a more stable profession than acting, but when he found some stability in performance, he left the art world behind, leaving behind countless psychedelic albums that tragically obscured it all.
He is secretly married to his first girlfriend
Rickman had only one girlfriend in his life, even though there were thousands of women who wanted to have him. He met Rima Horton in 1965, and they began living together in 1977, when the two didn't secretly marry in New York until 2012. The wedding was so intimate that no one knew until Rickman himself announced it in 2015. Rima worked politically and economically.
He almost starred in "Red Dwarf"
The popular British sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf has had many famous actors competing for roles, including Alfred Molina and Hugh Laurie. Alan Rickman was keen to play a role in it, but initially refused to rehearse the role until the producers managed to get him to rehearse his lines at a nearby bar. Ultimately, the show's overall cast consisted of lesser-known casts, as the show, once successful, needed to easily contact the cast to prepare for the sequel. In any case, Rickman later ended up in space as a starship crew member in The Amazing Galaxy.
