BBC Sherlock Fan Forum - Serving Sherlockians since February 2012 / Andrew Scott in Alice Through The Looking Glass

As the release of this movie (May 26, 2016) gets closer and closer, I thought I'd open (yet) another thread, because I don't like those mixed threads, where one should discuss 'the work' of one person. I hope it's fine to the rest of you, too.

Andrew's part in it is called Addison Bennett and he has appeared in two trailers so far. In the first, we only hear his voice in the beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKE0Py64jmk, and in the second, he finally can be seen in person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF3VaWUFccA

I enjoyed the first movie quite a lot, although I got very distracted by all the GCI going on, so I was very happy to hear that the second one would feature a lot less of it, so I'm really looking forward to seeing it. It's got so many actors I love in it. Andrew of course. Helena Bonham-Carter, Johnny Depp, it's the last time Alan Rickman's voice will be heard in a new movie (), Sacha Baron Cohen etc.
Beside that, I just have to say I quite love how Andrew picks his projects. There's an amazing mix between TV, radio, theatre, movies, and within that very different genres as well. It's really a dream career for an actor and I'm beyond happy for him!

I knew nothing of this, I really want to see it!

You didn't? Well, welcome in the excitment-party over this film!
I check Andrews IMDb-page quite often, and when this movie came up in it, I first thought it was a mistake because I didn't read anything about him being in it anywhere, but then more and more evidence was brought up that he actually is, and now I'm very happy.
Of course, as most of the movie will be taking place in Wonderland, we might not be seeing much of Andrew, but it's nice that he's in it anyway.

I'm joining the party as well!

It will be a nice way to celebrate the results of my exams, whatever they may be.

Yeah, welcome in, let's have the party started!

Oh, and it really is a lovely way to celebrate those, Lilythiell, but of course I'm sincerely hoping for you that the results are good!

Here's a picture from the trailer:

Oh, more people, yay! :D

And my pleasure! It's always good to find people here who get as excited about news about Andrew as me. Because that's not what people usually do. ;)

I've made another screencap from the trailer and I nearly can't get over how sweet he looks in it!

I am soo excited. Can I join this party too?

I'm going to book tickets for this film as soon as the cineworld site will let me.

I suspect I'll need to find somebody prepared to go with me!
