Absolem idea

I admit, I have yet to see ATtLG yet (it isn't available in my area, at present) so this 'spit-balling' is based solely on the first movie and what I've read about the new one.

In light of the sad loss of Alan Rickman (R.I.P. to a wonderful actor and even better human being), I had read a lot of fans talking about what would come of a third ALICE movie and the character Absolem. One thought a friend and I had, was that they could hire someone who could make their voice sound similar enough and then have them be the brother or son of Absolem. That way there would be a way to give his character a proper goodbye from the characters (and fans) but without having someone else take on the role and do an impression of Alan Rickman.

That's actually a pretty good idea. Benedict Cumberbatch would be a good pick. He does an outrageous Alan Rickman impression and can still sound similar enough without putting it on too much.

But, box office returns and the ending of this movie suggest a third chapter to be highly unlikely.
