"It's unfortunate, because it's winter down there and I'm not sure I want to be out there in the wind and the rain,"
"Yes, I put on the pointy hat and the beard and the nose and the eyebrows and the moustache."
"It's very much that core original group getting back together to tell this story that will feel like a really fun exploration of this character that we all love so much,"
"It feels so unbelievably appropriate that Andy directs a film about his character that he has really made his own. I'm thrilled. It'll be great. And I'm excited to see. I know their intention is to make other films in this universe."
Sir Ian McKellen will reprise Gandalf in The Hunt for Gollum, an instalment focusing on Gollum and directed by Andy Serkis, who also stars. Filming is scheduled to begin this July in New Zealand, and McKellen expressed concern about the timing because it will be winter there. McKellen confirmed his return during an interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and described wearing the wizard costume. The project reunites core creative members from the original trilogy, including Serkis and producer Philippa Boyens. The film may also feature Frodo Baggins, though Elijah Wood has not confirmed participation.
