From Hogwarts to Hitchhiker's.

As many of us here are, I'm a huge Alan Rickman and Hitchhiker's fan, so I'm definitely ecstatic to say the least. I figured there would be quite a few of you would be just as interested (to put it mildly) as I was to hear the news:

According to HPANA (a Harry Potter fansite praised by JK Rowling herself) as well as a few other sources, Alan Rickman (Professor Severus Snape, of course) and Warwick Davis (Professor Flitwick) are among the cast for the movie Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, which is based from the Douglas Adams' novel under the same title.

Apparently, Alan Rickman will be the voice of Marvin the Android, and Warwick Davis will be the operator of Marvin the Android's robotic suit. Rickman has not been officially confirmed yet though, although his casting was posted on the site run by Douglas Adams' official biographer.

Do you know how excited I was about that? Almost as excited as when I found out that Gary Oldman is going to be Gordon in the new Batman movie. I was convinced that the movie was going to suck (I'm too much of a purist to like any movie remakes of books I like, this is also why I think the DaVinci Code movine is going to be horrible and don't get me started on the Harry Potter ones), but now I'll have to see it, if only to hear Alan Rickman and his way too sexy voice.
