'Shock' and Awe

15 August 2008 1:59 AM, PDT | From backstage.com | See recent Backstage news

Alan Rickman's newly released film Bottle Shock, the actor is called upon to create an entrepreneurial and rather uncomfortable life for his character. The film tells the real-life story of Steven Spurrier, a British expat wine purveyor living in Paris in the mid-1970s. Spurrier is someone only Rickman could play: an open-minded snob, ripe for introduction to the upstart California wine industry. Also required by the role: Rickman must eat KFC and drive a Gremlin. Yes, this is the iconic actor with the mellifluous voice and aloof demeanor who elegantly plays 19th-century romantic leads and 21st-century stylized villains. This is the actor who is at home on Broadway and London stages, as well as in cult-inducing goofy film comedies. And yet, to hear him tell it, he found the get-his-hands-dirty work on Bottle Shock inspiring and challenging. Most of us remember our first sighting of the actor. For the lucky ones,

List: The 10 Most Slanderous Cinematic Slights*

28 July 2008 7:59 AM, PDT | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

By Stephen Saito

Usually when an actor or filmmaker reveals who inspired them in their creation of a character, it's the type of politically correct answer sure to offend no one. Johnny Depp had no problem explaining how he channeled Keith Richards for his role as Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean"; Dustin Hoffman sent up his pal, producer Robert Evans, in "Wag the Dog." But in a business where backbiting is common and screenwriters are urged to "write what you know," it's been a longstanding tradition to say the cruelest things about others under the guise of art. In a summer that will have Tom Cruise applying his considerable cackle to a Sumner Redstone surrogate in "Tropic Thunder" and a manscaping-derelict Bruce Willis doing his meanest Alec Baldwin impression in the adaptation of producer Art Linson's Hollywood tell-all, "What Just Happened?", we thought it was high time

Movie Trailer - Uncork 'Bottle Shock'

22 June 2008 10:11 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

I had the chance to see this trailer before a movie screening earlier this week, so I thought I'd share it with you for one simple reason: Alan by God Rickman.

If you don't have a healthy admiration for Rickman by now, there's no helping you. There aren't too many actors who, when the show up in a movie, you think to yourself, "Oh, this ought to be good." Rickman's right in that group.

He made such a great first impression in Die Hard, and has followed it up by playing Rasputin, the Sheriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape, and of course, Alexander Dane in Galaxy Quest. The guy's extremely versatile, although I suspect most of us like his work more when he's playing comedy, because he's so good at it.

Now Rickman has another comedic role in Bottle Shock, and he looks as strong as ever in it, playing British wine merchant Steven Spurrier,
