Rowan Atkinson as Voldemort?

UK actor (and ex-Cambridge Footlight) Rowan Atkinson is rumored to be playing the dread Lord Voldemort (yes, I almost typed "Valumart") in the next HP film. I was sorry to read that RA had been in a clinic for depression, particularly given that it was related to the poor performance of "Johnny English." If that's authentic and not flack-speak, it's a shame. "Johnny English" was funny, and the fickleness of any audience is axiomatic.



Also, footage from the Beatles' first trip to the US in February 1964 is going to be released. I've read somewhere that the Neilsen ratings for their first appearance on Ed Sullivan was the highest ever recorded. Apparently even crime went down!
