Does anyone remember what the title was of the video where Alan Rickman and two women were just heads reciting a poem/story?

Share your stories when you first met alan with his wife rima!

In the 2019 Galaxy Quest documentary, Patrick Breen (the actor who played Quellek in the film) reminisced about the last time he met Alan Rickman, they had dinner a few weeks/months before Alan passed away. At that moment, Alan told Patrick that due to ill-health he had to pull out of a film project. When asked who replaced him, Alan disdainfully answer in a joking manner, "Bill Nighy".

The title of the film wasn't mentioned so I took to IMDB and look for films in Bill Nighy's filmography released in 2016. The Limehouse Golem caught my attention and from the trivia section it was mentioned that Nighy's role (Inspector Killdare) was, at first, Rickman's before he had to pull out.

I searched for the film and watched it, and I'm crying because I really wanted him to be the one who played Killdare, even if it's a gory murder detective story set in Victorian Era similar like Jack the Ripper case. Also, at the end of the credit title there was a dedication page for Alan :'(

PS: Everyone, you should watch it. Through out the film, I imagined how Alan would have played Killdare. Bill Nighy was good, I like him, but I prefer Alan Rickman.

Was testing out an app.

First one I drew on July and the second one I drew on January (In his memory) ❤️💞 Alan Rickman Always ❤️😊 I'm not yet a Professional Artist, I'm just a teen and completed my diploma in Fine Arts...I will share more drawings and paintings of Alan in upcoming days 😉❤️

I’ve only just seen his mom and siblings…

For me, I wasn't actually sure which exactly I watched first: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, or Die Hard. This two movies was on re-run many times in one of the first private-owned TV channel in my country (somewhere in South East Asia) in early 1990s, when I was around 8-10 years old.

What I do clearly remembered was, I loved the characters: Sherriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Hans Gruber in Die Hard. I thought, still think, that they were way more interesting than the main protagonist/the good guy. Also, the funny bit and stupid thing for me was that, back then, I never read the movie casts at the end of the closing credits, so I never knew they were played by the same actor...(you can laugh, I'm terrible at recognising people's face. I'd be the most unreliable witness in a trial.)

I only realised about a decade later that they were the same person when reading an online news that the Harry Potter film was going to be made, and Severus Snape, my favorite character in the books was going to be played by Alan Rickman. The thing that made me really like Snape are his lines, especially his opening speech at Harry's first potion class; and like in Hans Gruber and Sheriff of Nottingham, I think that Severus Snape's character is way more interesting than the main protagonist in the books.

Anyway, after knowing that bit of info, I checked his pictures to see what he looked like and approved that he did looked like what I imagined Snape would looked like. Then, I check IMDB to see what his previous films, and I was shocked and delighted that he was Hans Gruber and Sheriff of Nottingham. I took note of all his other previous films, and then went to a small and wonderful library manage by the British Council in my country, and looked for them. Then and there was when I found two wonderful gem that was Truly, Madly, Deeply, and Sense and Sensibility. I grew more in love with this man and his films: Dogma, Galaxy Quest, Mesmer, Rasputin, Love Actually, Michael Collins, etc. I've seen almost all of them (with the exceptions of Bob Roberts, The Winter Guest, and Closet Land, and most TV appearances at the time I write this post.), and have collected their digital copy (I think I have all of them.)

Among my friends, I'm known for my love of anything on Harry Potter (specifically, Severus Snape) and of anything on Alan Rickman. When Harry Potter book 6 came out, my friends asked me about what I think about Snape's action at the of the book. I remember saying, I'm shocked but his story was becoming more interesting to me. When book 7 came out, I felt numb when I read the line "Severus Snape was no more." (I think that was how it was written) in the chapter where he died; I cried so much reading his story in "The Prince's Tale" to the point that I never have the strength to re-read the books anymore after I finished the series. When the eighth and last Harry Potter film was out, it felt like Snape died the second time when I watched it, so difficult it was for me that I avoided re-watching all Harry Potter films too every time any of them were on cable TV.

And finally, when I read the news of Alan Rickman's death (by way of many of my friends sending the links to me and asking me if it was true as if I was related directly to him or his family; or as if I knew him personally)...I felt like he (whether it was Snape or Alan, I cannot tell anymore) died the third time. The only thing I could do to pay my last respect for him was watching Eye in the Sky and Alice Through the Looking Glass in the cinema. And then, I couldn't bear to re-watch any of his films for so long, until lately. I'm starting again with the films I never watched before (Quigley Down Under, A Promise, A Little Chaos, 2019 Galaxy Quest Documentary, CBGB), I loved every one of them and I can't wait to watched the rest (the early TV movies). I felt I missed him more, but the pain was less significant than before, and I'm okay with that. I still feel sad, but I think I am able to enjoy anything on Alan Rickman again now.

What about you? Tell me your story. I'd love to read it, I'd love to get to know fellow fans.

Did it sound high pitched, slow and mysterious? I wonder. I’d love to hear it in a recording.

Im gonna mark it as a spoiler in case nobody here watched the movie yet

I'm friendly, creative, sapphic 33 years old woman. I like to overshare and be vulnerable. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to talk about him and his movies for hours. Have a good day.

I've been looking at their pictures from the premiere of "Dogma" and I can't help but notice how he holds Salma!!! How he is with women is just <3333

Do you guys know if there's a longer video of Alan in Les Liaisons? I've only seen short clips of him. I want to know if there's maybe a full video of his play?

Sorry if this kind of thing is frowned upon, but I had a little Alan Rickman story to share in my newsletter. Feel free to delete if it contravenes the rules here. Thanks.
