Sir Ian McKellen returning as Gandalf for The Hobbit

[Phoenix Dark]

"Yes I will, if Peter Jackson and I have anything to do with it, he being the producer and me being, on the whole, a very lucky actor. I've just read your quote out loud - fabulous speech."

"Encouragingly, Peter and 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!"

Undeniable good news BUT I'm still concerned about the idea of turning The Hobbit into LOTR. That didn't work for the Narnia film(s) and won't work here either

I'm a LOTR fanboy: I'll see it regardless of its quality. But like I said, I'm not particularly convinced that the material can be adapted into a good movie. The idea of 12 old drarves and a middle aged hobbit traveling with an ancient wizard doesn't strike me as compelling film. We'll see though.

not that there was any doubt but nice with confirmation

lotr extended trilogy

two towers extended is the most underrated movie ever

i hope they wrap this up with 30 minutes of tearful farewells and hobbits having slow-motion pillow fights, because i sure as fuck didn't get enough of that the first go round
