MoviesOnline had the pleasure of sitting down with Alan Rickman at the Culver Studios in Los Angeles (where he’s currently filming Alice in Wonderland with Tim Burton) to talk about his new film, Nobel Son. Directed by Randall Miller (Bottle Shock) and written and produced by Miller and Jody Savin. Nobel Son is a taut thriller spiked with droll humor that also stars Bryan Greenberg, Eliza Dushku, Shawn Hatosy, Mary Steenburgen, Bill Pullman, and Danny DeVito.
In this venomous tale of familial dysfunction, lust, betrayal and ultimately revenge, Barkley Michaelson (Greenberg) is struggling to finish his Ph.D. thesis when his father, the learned Eli Michaelson (Rickman), wins the Nobel Prize for chemistry. But Eli’s past indiscretions begin to collide with the present. When Barkley is kidnapped on the eve of his father accepting the prize, Eli refuses to pay the ransom. So starts a game of intrigue and deception that proves that payback’s a bitch.
Villain extraordinaire, comedic personality, romantic leading man and more, Alan Rickman has performed in London’s West End, on Broadway, in film and on radio and television. In the role of Professor Severus Snape, Rickman continues to appear as the Potions Master in the Harry Potter films. Other recent credits include Snow Cake (with Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss), Perfume: the Story of a Murderer (with Dustin Hoffman), The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (with Johnny Depp). Rickman has collaborated previously with director Randall Miller on Bottle Shock which was released earlier this year.
Alan Rickman is a fabulous person and we really appreciated his time. Here’s what he had to tell us about Nobel Son, his upcoming projects, and the unusually chilly weather on set:
ALAN RICKMAN: Warm enough?
MoviesOnline: I said Alan’s going to think we’re very funny because we’re from California; we’re cold if it’s like 65 degrees. You’re cold?
ALAN RICKMAN: This is ridiculous.
MoviesOnline: It’s been noisy, too.
ALAN RICKMAN: Noisy and cold. Like London.
MoviesOnline: They [Randall Miller and Jody Savin] were telling us the story of how you first met. When you first worked with them, could you imagine this was going to become such a long collaboration on so many projects?
ALAN RICKMAN: I don’t know. I guess you say things like Woody Allen, and yesterday I was here watching Tim Burton shooting Alice [in Wonderland], and I’m involved in that. And who knew that was going to happen when I did Sweeney Todd, so I like collaborations. It at least involves a measure of trust, which is a good thing.
MoviesOnline: Is there a shorthand you have with the director now? Whether it’s somebody like Randy or Tim? You kind of know how they work?
ALAN RICKMAN: No, because I think they’ll change and so will you. It just means there’s a sort of atmosphere of possibility and play and ‘let’s try this.’ I feel quite free with them.
MoviesOnline: Do you find it keeps you creatively fresh doing independent projects like this and then doing the larger feature films?
ALAN RICKMAN: To be perfectly honest, my head doesn’t know what’s different.
MoviesOnline: That’s what Bill Pullman said.
ALAN RICKMAN: I have no clue. You’re just working and you’re trying to do the work. It doesn’t matter what the size of the budget is, everybody’s always looking at their watch and screaming that they don’t have enough time.
MoviesOnline: But isn’t it with an independent, you really are moving faster—there’s not so many takes, it’s a much faster pace than a big film?
ALAN RICKMAN: No.
MoviesOnline: Really? Wow.
ALAN RICKMAN: Money is everything. In my experience, anyway. I suppose there are more set ups maybe on a big movie, so scenes will be shot for longer because there are many more angles used.
MoviesOnline: Is it nice returning to work with the same group of people? It’s like a repertory company in a sense.
ALAN RICKMAN: Yeah, it was. Exactly. Again, it’s about trust and respect as much as anything. For me to get to work with people—of course Bryan [Greenberg] and Shawn [Hatosy] and Eliza [Dushku] are new people to me. But as an actor in England coming to America, of course I know of Danny [DeVito] and Bill [Pullman] and Mary [Steenburgen]. They’re part of American film royalty.
MoviesOnline: What was fun about playing a character that’s as pompous and egotistical as Eli?
ALAN RICKMAN: What’s your problem with him? (laughs) No, it was fun because there’s no area of judgment to be made. He makes no judgments on himself; everything is possible as long as it suits him. Big old playground to jump into. Good fun.
MoviesOnline: When you got this script, you didn’t know them or anything. Apparently a lot of people turned it down here before they gave it to you in London. What was it? Was it the script that you thought was so well written? Or was it the role? What was it?
AR Yeah. The whole script. And the fact that what I really like about Jody and Randy’s scripts is that they don’t have easy labels. It doesn’t fit into a genre particularly, which is hard for you guys—you can’t get a rubber stamp out. It’s got a bit of this, and a bit of that. It’s uniquely itself. And so I like that very much.
MoviesOnline: You do seem to pick a lot of these snobby, sleazy roles.
ALAN RICKMAN: Name them.
MoviesOnline: What is it you find so enjoyable about them?
ALAN RICKMAN: Name them. No, I actually don‘t play a lot of them, as it happens. It’s just some of the ones that get more publicity. But the majority of the work that I’ve done is perfectly ordinary people.
MoviesOnline: Really?
ALAN RICKMAN: Yeah. Do you want me to list them?
MoviesOnline: No.
ALAN RICKMAN: Put it this way, for every Nobel Son, there’s a couple of Sense and Sensibilities, Truly Madly Deeply, Perfume. You know.
MoviesOnline: It just seems like you’re so well known here for the bad parts -- for Snape or the Sheriff of Nottingham.
ALAN RICKMAN: Is Snape bad?
MoviesOnline: Well, ultimately obviously not.
ALAN RICKMAN: I didn’t say anything.
MoviesOnline: But you don’t know that until the last book.
ALAN RICKMAN: So therefore you just said ‘bad’ like—
MoviesOnline: Well, he does not appear to be tremendously likeable, at least through Harry’s eyes, for most of the time.
ALAN RICKMAN: So your point is? (giggles) No. Look, I don’t judge characters anyway for anything. I just get on and play them. And if you were sitting inside my skin, and I can’t sit inside yours or deny what you’re saying because that’s your perception. But if you were sitting in my skin, you’d look at the work you’ve done and go, ‘Well, wait a minute…. Look at all of those against those.’ And it’s just that some of them get a lot of publicity. That’s all.
MoviesOnline: The one thing they all have in common though is they’re all complex characters.
ALAN RICKMAN: I hope so. I hope they live through three dimensions. I resist the labeling, that’s all, because I think it’s too easy to do that to characters and stories. Wrap them up. I like it when stories are left open. That’s what I like about Jo Rowling as a storyteller, it’s full of possibilities.
MoviesOnline: Is there a genre or a type of film or literary work or character that you would like to play that you haven’t played?
ALAN RICKMAN: Not really. The trouble with that is that if you make a list like that, in a way it means you’ve made some decisions already and I like coming to something with no decisions made and to look at it like a kind of marketplace as much as possible. And also new writing excites me. That’s very much the area I operate in in the theater back in England. It’s always great to read something absolutely new. But having said that, I’ve just directed a play by Strindberg, which was written 120 years ago and you’re shocked, as the audiences were, by how incredibly modern it was.
MoviesOnline: What was that and where was it?
ALAN RICKMAN: It’s a play called Creditors and I did it at the Donmar Warehouse. I think that it probably will come to New York next year.
MoviesOnline: What are you playing in Alice in Wonderland?
ALAN RICKMAN: The caterpillar.
MoviesOnline: A caterpillar? How do you get into something like that?
ALAN RICKMAN: Well, fortunately it’s animated.
MoviesOnline: Oh, okay.
ALAN RICKMAN: But it’s my face on an animated caterpillar. So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before.
MoviesOnline: Oh, I don’t think so. No.
ALAN RICKMAN: So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.
MoviesOnline: Who is the Alice that you’re playing opposite?
ALAN RICKMAN: Mia [Wasikowska] is her name. I don’t know her surname. I met her yesterday because they’re shooting right here. If you make yourself into the invisible person, you can go in and have a look. She’s a young 19-year-old, apparently absolutely brilliant and certainly delightful person.
MoviesOnline: As somebody coming from England and you’re coming and working at this studio, do you get a kick out of the fact that Gone With the Wind was made here? Or does that mean anything to you?
ALAN RICKMAN: I didn’t know that actually. Wow. No, absolutely, totally. When I was shooting, I forget which movie it was now, but when I was shooting something here and it was so much, there was so much history clinging to the walls, and you went into some of those sound studios and you could really feel… And people would name movies that had been there, or you would go to the commissary and you could feel the ‘30s architecture still around. Absolutely. I mean, I’m staying in an apartment in Hollywood at the moment and it was built in the 1930s. To touch old Hollywood like that is a thrill.

ALAN RICKMAN: So therefore you just said ‘bad’ like—
MoviesOnline: Well, he does not appear to be tremendously likeable, at least through Harry’s eyes, for most of the time.
ALAN RICKMAN: So your point is? (giggles) No. Look, I don’t judge characters anyway for anything. I just get on and play them. And if you were sitting inside my skin, and I can’t sit inside yours or deny what you’re saying because that’s your perception. But if you were sitting in my skin, you’d look at the work you’ve done and go, ‘Well, wait a minute…. Look at all of those against those.’ And it’s just that some of them get a lot of publicity. That’s all.
MoviesOnline: The one thing they all have in common though is they’re all complex characters.
ALAN RICKMAN: I hope so. I hope they live through three dimensions. I resist the labeling, that’s all, because I think it’s too easy to do that to characters and stories. Wrap them up. I like it when stories are left open. That’s what I like about Jo Rowling as a storyteller, it’s full of possibilities.
MoviesOnline: Is there a genre or a type of film or literary work or character that you would like to play that you haven’t played?
ALAN RICKMAN: Not really. The trouble with that is that if you make a list like that, in a way it means you’ve made some decisions already and I like coming to something with no decisions made and to look at it like a kind of marketplace as much as possible. And also new writing excites me. That’s very much the area I operate in in the theater back in England. It’s always great to read something absolutely new. But having said that, I’ve just directed a play by Strindberg, which was written 120 years ago and you’re shocked, as the audiences were, by how incredibly modern it was.
MoviesOnline: What was that and where was it?
ALAN RICKMAN: It’s a play called Creditors and I did it at the Donmar Warehouse. I think that it probably will come to New York next year.
MoviesOnline: What are you playing in Alice in Wonderland?
ALAN RICKMAN: The caterpillar.
MoviesOnline: A caterpillar? How do you get into something like that?
ALAN RICKMAN: Well, fortunately it’s animated.
MoviesOnline: Oh, okay.
ALAN RICKMAN: But it’s my face on an animated caterpillar. So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before.
MoviesOnline: Oh, I don’t think so. No.
ALAN RICKMAN: So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.
MoviesOnline: Who is the Alice that you’re playing opposite?
ALAN RICKMAN: Mia [Wasikowska] is her name. I don’t know her surname. I met her yesterday because they’re shooting right here. If you make yourself into the invisible person, you can go in and have a look. She’s a young 19-year-old, apparently absolutely brilliant and certainly delightful person.
MoviesOnline: As somebody coming from England and you’re coming and working at this studio, do you get a kick out of the fact that Gone With the Wind was made here? Or does that mean anything to you?
ALAN RICKMAN: I didn’t know that actually. Wow. No, absolutely, totally. When I was shooting, I forget which movie it was now, but when I was shooting something here and it was so much, there was so much history clinging to the walls, and you went into some of those sound studios and you could really feel… And people would name movies that had been there, or you would go to the commissary and you could feel the ‘30s architecture still around. Absolutely. I mean, I’m staying in an apartment in Hollywood at the moment and it was built in the 1930s. To touch old Hollywood like that is a thrill.
