In this article about the film Perfume based on the book, is the following sentences:

To this end Grenouille, played by relatively unknown 26-year-old Ben Whishaw, murders pretty girls for their smell. The daughter of a merchant, played by Alan Rickman, is his most desired victim.

It took me a few moments to realize that the merchant was being played by Alan Rickman, not the daughter of the merchant. Although that would be cool too. He could do it, just watch.

*cackles gleefully* He absolutely COULD do it, and I would pay good money to see it, too.

Wow. Who got paid to write that? :) Not that I doubt he could do it, the saucy tart.

I don't know, but I'd get a better proofreader.
