, 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 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.

This is great news!!
Again another movie in which Alan is lending his voice for.
I understand about the other posts that this is a bit of an sarcastic part, so just perfect for Alan!!
(just think of Snape...)
I think he will love doing it *grins*!
So I think it's best to keep our fingers crossed that he will!

That's great! My husband can't wait to see the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. I've read the books, but don't remember much about them.

Alan Rickman is so awesome. I couldn't picture anyone else playing Snape. Warwick Davis is awesome too. Loved him in Willow.

That is cool! I can't wait for the movie. Alan Rickman is great in everything he is in- a truly great actor! And Warwick Davis I have only seen in HP but I am sure he will do a great job!

That's cool! I think Rickman will definately be picked! I just hope it doesn't mess up anything with Harry Potter, because he is one amazing Severus Snape!

Ooohm I hope so. Rickman has such a smooth unconcerned voice, and Marvin is by far my favourite character from the Guide. I didn't know they were making a film of it, but I'm glad, the 2 books I read were great.

Well I dunno, I have to do a Movie Review for one of my classes and I chose to do "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" as my topic. I have to research on The main carachters in the movie. Alan Rickman has done tone of mvies and a lot of other voice overs. I'm sure he will do really well if he gets the job.

Never heard of the books but it sounds a little intriguing. I might go see it, just to hear Snivvy's voice in it...that's my favorite part about Snape...

It's nice that they can work together again, because they already have done it and they know each other.
