Article:

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Alan Rickman (news) and Mos Def will star in "Something the Lord Made," an HBO movie about the true story of heart surgery pioneers Alfred Blalock and Vivien Thomas, a white surgeon and a black lab technician.

The partnership between Blalock (Rickman) and Thomas (Mos Def) began in 1929 when the then-19-year-old Thomas' dreams to go to college and medical school were dashed when he lost his tuition savings in the October stock market crash and took a job as a lab technician at Vanderbilt University's medical school, working for Blalock, a resident surgeon.

At Vanderbilt and later at Johns Hopkins University, Blalock and Thomas worked on several breakthroughs that revolutionized cardiac surgery, including the wider use of plasma or whole-blood transfusions to prevent surgical shock, which saved millions of lives during World War II, and the Blalock-Taussig shunt.

Multiple Emmy winner Joseph Sargent ("Miss Rose White") has come on board to direct the film, which is still in development. Peter Silverman (Lifetime's "We Were the Mulvaneys") penned the script for the project, which has been kicking around for 6 1/2 years.

Rickman is set to reprise his role as Professor Severus Snape in "Harry Potter (news - web sites) and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the third movie of the "Happy Potter" series. He next appears in the comedy "Love Actually," which opens Friday.

Mos Def most recently co-starred in the hit "The Italian Job." His upcoming features include "The Woodsman," "The Sky Is Green" and "A Confederacy of Dunces."

sounds interesting!

Hey, I'll watch it just to hear that voice Alan's got! Hehehe. I think that when he plays Snape he sounds drunk. Alan always sounds drunk, but especially when he yells. There's a news anchor that talks like that too.. Tom Brokaw (spelling), I think.

I may not go see "Love, Actually" I am a big Rickman fan, but I am mad at Hugh Grant! >

Okay, I am nuts. I admit it. Hugh Grant made me mad when I saw him on Opera because I thought he was a jerk. AND neither of them mentioned Alan Rickman!

Yes, I am obsessive.
I better stop before the men in white coats come to take me away, huh?
