Helen Mirren thinks Alan Rickman would be "very proud" of his final film role
"It's Alan as I knew Alan," says the Eye in the Sky star of the late actor's last performance
Alan Rickman may be gone, but his performances remain – even some we haven't even seen yet.
The Harry Potter star's last live-action role comes in Eye in the Sky, a military thriller about a controversial drone strike. And co-star Helen Mirren says it's a performance that Rickman would be very proud of.
“He is fantastic," Mirren says in this Friday's episode of The Graham Norton Show. "It was his last film and it’s a movie he would be very proud of.
"What I love about the film is that it’s Alan as I knew Alan – a brilliant character actor, funny, urbane, intelligent and very human. It’s really great to see him up there.”
Rickman also gave a voice performance for the upcoming Alice in Wonderland sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass. You can hear his narration as the Blue Caterpillar in the teaser below.
