Ian McKellan will play Gandalf in the Hobbit films
For those who haven’t heard, there are actually going to be two Hobbit films, directed by none other than Guillermo del Toro. With Peter Jackson producing. And Ian McKellan reprising his role as Gandalf. And quite possibly Andy Serkis as Gollum. How cool is that?
Ian McKellan was fabulous in all three LOTR films, and the news that he will be in the Hobbit films is exactly what I wanted to hear. No idea when they’re going to be released for sure, but I think sometime in 2009 is a safe bet.
In completely unrelated news, today is my last day at KnowledgeWorks, and I have a nice long weekend ahead of me. Ahh….
