Alan Rickman and Warwick Davis hitch ride on 'Guide' Popular (10657)

Harry Potter stars Alan Rickman (Severus Snape) and Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) are apparently lending their respective talents to the film adaptation of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, according to Planet Magratheaopens in new window, 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.

Loretta says:

Alan Rickman and Warwick Davis are exceptions actors. I saw the movie and it wasn't anything to scream about. I blame it on the script.

That's fantastic! I love that book, and I could listen to Rickman's voice for hours... I'm sure JKR will be pleased!
