+1..it will be a recipe for disaster.

ok I'm going to throw this out there. Lets say in the next 6 months the Hobbit Movie gets the green light and Jackson and Ian decide to get involved. What's to stop WB/New Line and Jackson from rushing it? I mean Jackson has his own stuff to do.

Poor guy who will have to replace him, big shoes to fill for sure

I bet they'll get Michael Gambon to do it, if he's still alive.

They better hurry the freak up!!!!!!

kernel_thai · 07-05-2010, 09:51 PM

Not that I care but at the rate this production is going Peter Jackson will be able to play Gandalf.

vegeta88 · 07-05-2010, 10:27 PM

That would be very ridiculous to film without Ian. It seems to me that shooting schedules can take many different forms and they could fit him in somehwere, especially with a long shoot like The Hobbit. I sure hope they can get it to work out.

kernel_thai · 07-05-2010, 10:32 PM

also, unless theyve added a lot of new Gandalf scenes his isnt in it very much.

mjbethancourt · 07-05-2010, 10:53 PM

It's starting to look like the whole thing is falling apart.

I would watch that.

I really hope they get this whole situation resolved at MGM.

As it stands, if it goes on too long we could lose McKellen as Gandalf and Craig as Bond

Witch King of Angmar · 07-06-2010, 01:32 AM

Noooooooooo

Hobbits will suck without Mckellen as Gandalf.

ts0323 · 07-06-2010, 02:07 AM

We NEED McKellen as Gandalf!!!!

No one else can play the part like him.

He's probably been looking in the mirror lately repeating a few choice lines, such as:
"Bil-bo Baggins", and
"I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I am looking for someone to share an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.".

Um...you did notice what they did to Arwen for those LOTRs movies...right?

Besides, they could just use this guy here. Once they throw a hat, cape and beard on him, he will be virtually indistinguishable from McKellen anyway.

Right now, I'm less concerned about who plays Gandalf, and more concerned about whether or not the whole project gets dropped.

I think it's starting to look like the best-case scenario would be for Jackson to shelve the project for a few years, like he did with 'King Kong', and pick it up again when there are fewer obstacles. I think the project as we have come to know it over the last couple years, is all but dead. The wheels are coming off, and it will take a miracle to get this back on track now.

Man oh man...if he bails, then people will be rioting in the streets wearing wizard's clothes.....actually.....I'd love to see that.

Eh, people would probably just think they were lost Harry Potter lunatics.

Gandalf!!! You said what I wanted to post. You were always upstaging me, even in Valinor.

Josh · 07-07-2010, 02:45 PM

I think this was part of the rush to get PJ on board with the Hobbit. This was reported as a sure thing last week, but all lines have gone silent. I wonder where things broke down.
