Well, the New York Times may think Alan Rickman is going to be in the stage play, Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolfe? But the devoted and lucky fans who are subscribers to the Alan Rickman Email list AND have been lucky enough to chat with Da Man after Private Lives, all unanimously say that Alan, when asked if he will be in above mentioned play, laughs and says, "No, he will not be appearing in Whose Afraid of Virginia Wolfe... Thanks to the fans on the Email list keeping us not-in-New-York fans informed!

Well, now that Private Lives is in its final weeks in New York, its time for the rumour machine of upcoming projects for Alan Rickman to crank into gear! This week tells us that he may be returning to stage sooner than expected. According to the New York Post, Alan Rickman is being considered for the role of "George" in Whose Afraid of Virginai Wolfe? Although it is great that the great Alan Rickman gets to stride the floorboards soon, its also nice when he's in movies - more accessible to his large fan base!

A spy deeply buried in Warner Bros, has leaked details to Harry Knowles' "Aint it Cool" website about the upcoming Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film. Although comments about Alan Rickman were sparse (well restricted to one actually), it would appear that once again, the man is underutilised in his magnificent portryal of Snape... Be warned though - there is a Harry Potter Book 5 spoiler in this lengthy rant/rave - overstepped the boundaries of spoilers if you ask me!
