Alan Rickman Poses as Famed Club Owner on 'CBGB' Poster (Exclusive) By Aaron Couch | The Hollywood Reporter


Alan Rickman is a man with a punk plan in the latest poster for CBGB, which is exclusive to The Hollywood Reporter.

The actor plays CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, who in the late 1970s wanted to create a venue for country, bluegrass and blues music. When those acts became difficult to book, he shifted the club's focus to booking local groups.
