why oh why was rickers not cast in malcovich's role. waaaaahhh it would be perfect. ripping off the corsets u just know he loves heaving bosoms who agrees
shareCapable serious actor though he is, no - you're thinking too much of his cartoonish role in the cringeworthy Costner film.
shareSadly Rickman wasn't cast because he wasn't well known, especially in the US. He played the role of Valmont on the London stage for over two years and he would have been perfect for the movie. In my opinion he is a better actor than Malkovich, and he has a lot more sex appeal. I could believe all of those women going gaga over him.
shareSaw Rickman as Valmont on the NY stage (with Lindsay Duncan as the marquise). He was stunning.
shareI saw Rickman on stage in London, and was totally blown away by him. The seduction of Celine, which is a bit more graphic in the play than in the film, had the audience breathless; you could have heard a pin drop. Shame he's not in the film, though Malkovich is good.
