The actor, who played the wizard Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, tells Broadway World that he "is not under contract" to appear in Jackson's two-part adaptation of The Hobbit.
"I'm not going to say any more than that because it might complicate things! So, I would say - at the moment - no, I am not under contract," said McKellen. He added, laughing, "I'm not saying any more than what I've said!"
Oh, but of course he did say more than that. McKellen added cryptically, "I'm keeping myself open for offers for 2011. I gather The Hobbit starts shooting in February."
And we gather McKellen either wants to know for sure he's onboard for it or move onto his next gig. Consider yourselves warned by the great Gandalf, powers-that-be!
Lord of the rings, i will say is the greatest movie trilogy in history, and it is. This makes The Hobbit on of the most awaited movie for the fans, an offcourse it would be a great movie, but if Sir. Ian Mckellen is not signed in for the role of "Gandalf", it would be a big mistake.
