Ian McKellen [Gandalf]
stated last week he was reprising his role for Peter
Jackson’s The Hobbit and that the production is targeting
a January start.
Today The Noldor Blog
posted a scan of a casting call for “short and tall people” to serve as “Scale
Doubles” for the film.
The ad comes from the Dominion Post newspaper. Although this is a doubles casting it appears the production is on track for January. MGM will be expected to announce information on their financial situation soon.
Scottish actor Sylvester McCoy [Doctor Who] previously revealed to the Argyllshire Standard that he is currently in talks to join The Hobbit and is widely tipped to play Radagast the Brown.
