, 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 guess I'll have to see that when it comes out. If Alan Rickman and Warwick Davis are in it, it should be really good.

Now they're already casting Ricman for his voice only - is there a fangirl in the casting involved, haha. If it's true: brilliant. I'm looking forward to this movie anyway.

Well, I don't think that you can ever go wrong casting Alan Rickman--I just adore the man. His voice is wonderful, so I know that he will do well in this type of feature.

It would be fun to see. I am glad to see the folks get around to some other films. It may attract new fans to HP, and gives the actors a nice break between the HP films.

I heard they were planning to make the movie about a decade ago but the plans fell through. I am worried that this is going to get fans' hopes up for nothing again. They said Rickman was not confirmed. I hope they do go through with it. I love the books and have watched the patchy TV series they based on the first few.
