, a web site run by Adams' official biographer MJ Simpson.
Director Garth Jennings reportedly told BBC Radio 1 just a few days ago that Rickman was to be the voice of Marvin the Android. Davis was confirmed earlier as the actor who will operate Marvin's robotic costume.
In the books, Marvin is a paranoid, terribly sarcastic character who is woefully unconcerned with the world around him. Rickman's casting has not been officially confirmed or announced (we'll keep you posted).
Thanks to Kate for the tip.

I'm so happy that they're making a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. It's probably going to rock. Alan Rickman will be a great addition to the cast.

It's been so long since I read the books and I can't really remember what Marvin was like, but I'm sure Alan will be great!

I think Rickman is the perfect person for that and he will do really well at it just like he is in Harry Potter. I might have to see it when it comes out.

Yes! He did it! And this is a way old old article BUT I saw it and I had to post in it! Because one I saw the movie and Alan played a most brilliant Marvin! I didn't know Warwick Davis operated the driod costum though! So I learned something quite new from reading an article that was quite old ><

That's cool.
The voice is Alan Rickman and the person controlling it is Warwick Davis. Too actors who will now be in at least 4 of the same movies together.
I want to see that movie.

I would like to see those two act together in other films besides Harry Potter. Warwick Davis looks scary without his costume on.

I have seen "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and it was awesome. Alan Rickman was brilliant as Marvin and the puppet was what I had expected from reading the book.
