The actor who plays Snape in the HP films spoke recently in an interview about his new movie, Snow Cake, and a little about Order of the Phoenix. You can see a video of this interesting chat here. Thanks to those who emailed!

Wow, that's awesome! First?!
Indeed
Yay top 5 ^^. I like the video
sweet deal. i think its cool looking at the actors out of their hogwarts costumes
i couldnt see it. =(
aww cool, love that guy top ten?
Interesting video.
cool video, gotta love George Stroumboulopoulos.
I just wonder how much Alan Rickman knows about Snape right now. Didn't JK once say that she told him Snape's fate (and that he is the only one who knows)? I'm so curious!
Sounds intresting...
love it, alan rickman's the best :]
It's rather nice to see some Rickman related news for once.
Alan Rickman ROCKS! I hope I see more of him in the next movie. They have been kind of lacking on the Snape scenes in the past two movies (in my opinion) but he has such an important role in the next two! (not that i'm a fan of the character, just the actor, Alan rickman!)
Cool, it's nice to see that they do other movies besides HP.
yes - I remember in an interview years ago that Rickman said he knows more than other people about his Snape character from JK. I wonder why she told him? I guess because he is an adult and she could trust him with the secret. I don't think she'd be telling Emma Watson, or even Daniel, the secret ending. Do you?
he is coooooooool!
lol! paraphrasing what he said:"want to know about the 5th movie?read the book!!........actualy,rea ding the book won't tell you anything,since they cut so much stuff"
yyeeaaaah canada!
yesss finally!
If Snape is the comic relief in this movie like he was in the last, I will have officialy lost total faith in the HP film franchise.
YAY for Alan Rickman! What is it about 50 and 60 year old British men? :-)
Cool.
Btw: the show stops for commercials and you just have to skip the blank parts...the short bit with him talking Harry Potter is around minute 13 or so.
Hey thats really cool!
That's cool. Alan Rickman is one of the actors that actually does protray the character up to par. Can't wait for OOTP
haha - snape smiles!!! It's really fun to see them outside of their costumes for the movies. And yes, I do believe I heard that JKR entrusted Snape's fate to Alan Rickman. So maybe if we watch the movies a bit closer we can find out something about him??? I don't know.... maybe ootp will give us an idea... I don't care I'm just really excited for the movie!!! Notice how he side-stepped answering any questions about the movie... they really do a good job of keeping information away from us!! lol. I'm glad though, because then it is even more fun when you're watching it for the first time.
Aww the movie looks good. I love Sigourney Weaver, but it's not playing in the U.S., of course. Meh.
Yay Canada! I'm so proud. Stromboulopoulous is a great interviewer, you can tell he made the great Alan Rickman feel at ease. I can't wait to see that film, most good indie theatres should be showing it, right? I hope so.
I do hope he made a mistake when he talked about the movie being cut down to 1 1/2 or 2 hrs. Please let it be at least 2 1/2 hrs. Please!
I do declare, that man is SO charming. I love hearing him talk about his career. That intro was rather tight, too. :) I may need a copy of that someday.
I can't believe it!!! I was debating between watching the all canadian "The Hour" yesterday and watching a tyra show repeat!!! THE SHAME!!! Oh ya, Canada rox.
Thanks for the vidoe! Alan is one of my favourite (if not the favourite) actors of all times, not only in the Harry Potter movies. He's totally awesome!
OH MY GOD!!! This is like... Christmas all over for me again!!! Alan Rickman rarely does interviews, it seems like, so this is awesome!!! He IS my absolute favorite actor!!! And he seems like he's very outgoing and funny in real life... Anyways- Long live Alan Rickman... You rule!
JK Rowling told Alan Rickman the fate of his character purely for the reason of him being able to play the part (Snape) correctly.
Anybody know what plugin it requires? I don't have it, and the site's not telling me which one it is.
yayz! this interview is great so far, i luv this guy
First of all, Alan rules as Snape, Alex, Hans, George, Alexander Dane or whatever role he plays. He is totally dedicated to the role he is portraying and does not like to talk about Potter because he does not like to play with the minds of the children and he is more than that. Second of all, in my honest opinion Snape should not be used as comic relief as he is a mean person, not entirely evil but just mean. Third of all, this interview is a bit late, he did it in the beginning of Dec . I am glad though that mugglenet put it up, Snape is an important character.
Alan Rickman knowing Snape's fate is one of the reasons I still trust the character. Even though he treats Harry like garbage (in the films) you still see Rickman portraying Snape as being protective. Case in point, him leaping in front of Harry during Lupin's transformation.
Biggest waste of 15 min., 24 sec. of my life
When I saw him with the words Snow Cake, I burst out laughing. Only because it was pretty funny seeing them put together. Snow Cake...ha. Wonder what that movie's about..
Yay, Alan Rickman...
Alan Rickman is really good Actor! To bad i cant watch the video cause my speakers dont work...Well good luck to everyone else with there sound control..Lol...
Alan Rickman rocks!!! I must admit the movie name "Snow Cake" takes you off guard at first though. I have read in several places that he knows something about his character??? good interview !!
Snow Cake? Interesting title.
Hooray! I saw the interview on the hour last night. Rickman certainly is interesting. The play he is producing certainly sounds heavy but interesting. The actual interview was done November 30th, I wonder why they waited so long to air it. Go Strombo!
Ah cbc. When will doctor who come back on :(... Anyway nice interview.
I Couldn't see mine very well :[ But it looks cool
I love him. He's awesome. Snowcake was a really good movie too. Thought Provoking and all that. He does a good "Mister Sarcastic" as someone named him in Snowcake.
Awesome interview! I just love Alan Rickman! I can not wait to see his latest works, including "Snowcake". He can portray any character with ease and incredible skill. He is a master at acting! So far I have enjoyed every movie I have seen of his, however, I still have quite a few to go.
So JK told him about Snape's fate!!!! He is sooooo lucky!!!!! I would like it if she told daniel or the guy who plays voldemort wat happens to them and they accidentally let it out...
