I'm hardly doing that, Hector dear. In fact, I believe I've said before that I'm not too enthused about his Gandalf. It is, however, decent, and the continuity would be worth keeping the old Gandalf. If we got a new one, we would have no guarantee that he was any better than Sir Ian McKellen.
So why do you want to drop Ian Holm?

I'm afraid I disagree mostly on you Ian Mckellen count...I though he was great as Gandalf the Grey (the white had its issues)

Gandalf is Ian McKellan, no doubt about it. Of all the other characters they can change actors about when it comes to The Hobbit movie, McKellan will be the one and only one that'll be best not changed, or the whole thing'll fall hollow, I say. Ian is the genuis glue that holds the film interpretation so beautifully together. I doubt it'll end up happening, but wouldn't it be so, so cool? McKellan IS Gandalf. Period. White, Grey, you name it.Bar absolutely none.

Yeah I watched EE the other day and in ROTK you could almost have the movie without him, he doesn't do anything and they basically make him a wimp. Not to mention how when he rescues Faramir's men Pippin is riding in front of him...that always grates on my nerves for some reason. ...m'yeah he's kinda pathetic in RoTK EE.

It just won't be the same without PJ, but I'm sure most of us will go see it anyway.

Anyway, or with all the more reason? (HINT: The latter answer is correct. )

NEWS ABOUT alleged "hobbits"!
The old thread ( http://www.entmoot.com/showthread.ph...hobbit+species) on this is closed (and I can't find the alleged thread on GM, apologies to SGH), but I thought ya'll might be interested in the ongoing debate about H. floresiensis... see here : http://www.livescience.com/humanbiol...microceph.html "New computerized casts of abnormally small Homo sapiens brains are reigniting the debate over the skeletal remains nicknamed "The Hobbit." " Now HB, what if they were to find a H. gandalfiensis who matched Ian Mc.?

Saying McClellan must always play Gandalf because you liked him in the LOTR and got used to him is like saying you have to marry the first girl you #$&%ed because it was good and that's also the only experience you have.
Sir Ian was fine in LOTR but he ain't the only good actor in town. |
