showstopper24 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 McKellen Says He'll Reprise Gandalf If AskedOn Ian McKellen's official website Tuesday, a fan asked, "Have you been approached yet by [producer] Peter Jackson or anyone else about reprising your wonderful role as Gandalf for the two upcoming Hobbit movies?" McKellen responded: "Encouragingly, Peter and [co-producer] Fran Walsh have told me they couldn't imagine The Hobbit without their original Gandalf. Their confidence hasn't yet been confirmed by the director Guillermo Del Toro but I am keeping my diary free for 2009!" Link to post Share on other sites

showstopper24 0 Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I hope they get the movie going before he dies.While I was watching the Lord of the Rings, I kind of thought it was curious that they casted Christopher Lee. Saruman is an important character in all three books (even though he only appeared in the extended version of Return of the King) but he was very old when the movies started and he could have died anytime. But he is such a great actor and he played the part perfectly. Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like there are many Saurman scenes, though he looms over the books, he's not exactly a central character. Link to post Share on other sites

showstopper24 0 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Sir Ian McKellen has confirmed he will reprise his role as Gandalf in the film version of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit. "Yes, it's true," he told Empire magazine. "It's not a part that you turn down. I loved playing Gandalf." Two Hobbit films are planned for release in 2010 and 2011. They will be prequels to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson. Guillermo del Toro has been named as the director of the movies, to be made back-to-back in New Zealand. "I spoke to Guillermo in the very room that Peter Jackson offered me the part and he confirmed that I would be reprising the role," Sir Ian said. He also said del Toro would be starting the script in about six weeks after he has finished filming current project, Hellboy 2. According to studio New Line, the first film will be an adaptation of The Hobbit and the second will be an original story focusing on the 60 years between the book and the beginning of the Rings trilogy. "As to how it's going to work over two films and what going to happen on screen, well Guillermo has not got down to working out the major details yet - I can tell you it's going to be amazing though," Sir Ian said.

You only need to use one bold tag to cover a whole post if that's what you are trying to do, you don't have to put them on each individual sentence.
