Once again gracing our television screens is the renowned actor in his latest ABC sitcom, titled . In a recent conversation, he drew an interesting comparison: working on this series feels reminiscent of acting alongside the late in for him. Despite the apparent difference between the sci-fi parody and Allen’s new grounded sitcom, there is a particular aspect that he finds familiar about his newest project – it transports him back to the beloved 1999 film with its lively and chaotic atmosphere, which used to drive Rickman up the wall.
Allens latest sitcom, featuring Kat Dennings from Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, is not receiving the most favorable responses following its initial reviews. The Rotten Tomatoes scores for both critics and viewers are at 44% and 46%, respectively, which is quite different from the exceptional 90% Tomatometer score that Galaxy Quest earned more than two decades ago, a time when Allen was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of his career.
Indeed, it appears that the actor found great pleasure in working on the show, as he seemed to be experiencing a joy that reportedly irked Alan Rickman during their time together on “Galaxy Quest.” According to Allen, he shared this insight with Collider.
Daryl Mitchell and I collaborated on Galaxy Quest, and we’re repeating the same antics that used to drive the late, charming Alan Rickman crazy with his repeated request for us to “quiet down and focus on the scene.” Despite initially being irritated by us, he eventually grew fond of us. It seems that we were just joking around back then, and it’s the same now. After five episodes, it feels like we’ve been working together for a decade. I’m amazed at how well we’re gelling and how much joy we’re bringing to our audience.
Alan Rickman Was Frustrated Filming Another Iconic Comedy Movie
Although Allen frequently managed to frustrate Rickman, it’s important to note that Rickman wasn’t the only one who could irritate the beloved Harry Potter actor. In Richard Curtis’ movie Love, Actually, Rickman encountered another vexing co-star in Rowan Atkinson, famous for playing Mr. Bean. In this film, Harry develops a crush on a young colleague and, during a shopping trip, attempts to secretly purchase jewelry for her. However, the sales clerk Rufus, portrayed by Atkinson, exhibits some peculiar habits that lead Harry to grow increasingly irritated.
Indeed, it appears that Rickman’s feelings of frustration were quite genuine. During a reunion for the movie “Love, Actually” in 2022, Curtis elaborated on this point.
Rowan preferred to work at a leisurely pace, often recording scenes for 11 minutes at a stretch. He frequently asked to redo scenes, saying, “Let’s go back and try that again.” This left poor Alan constantly muttering discontentedly, “Grr, ugh.
Absolutely, Alan Rickman’s occasional irritability never led to problems on set, and he was highly respected in the acting industry at the time of his untimely death on January 14, 2016. The fact that actors like Tim Allen still speak fondly of Rickman years after their collaboration speaks volumes about how any perceived annoyance was simply a part of the unique experience of working with him.
