Ian McKellen Confirmed For THE HOBBIT
Ian McKellen has finally confirmed that he will indeed be back to take on the role of Gandalf in Peter Jackson‘s next two Hobbit films! Truly, no one else could ever replace McKellan as Gandalf!
Initially there was some concern about his involvement after an interview in which he stated that he was not “officially” signed onto the films yet, and that there was a possibility he would be unable to do it. I guess he worked everything out because he had this update on his personal website in his feature film section.
The Hobbits, two films, start shooting in New Zealand in February 2011. Filming will take over a year. Casting in Los Angeles, New York City and London has started. The script too proceeds. The first draft is crammed with old and new friends, again on a quest in Middle Earth.
An official press release should come shortly.
The Hobbit comes to theaters November 2012 the sequel comes out November 2013 and stars Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, David Tennant, Ron Perlman, Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Doug Jones, and James Nesbitt.
