Just watch yourself what he said about the script:

Code


One thing he said was:"A lot of the old characters back". So does this mean more of the old cast will return than we expect to return?

Transcript of the interview ... [In reply to] Can't Post

Thanks for this Theodred Cool
Its a wonderful short and funny interview - Sir Ian is such a great guest, and seems to know how to say something when he cant say a thing ...

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Ian McKellen talks Hobbit script on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/clips/sir-ian-mckellen-interview-11509/1173182/


Jimmy Fallon:
I heard there’s a big rumour on the internet that I wanted to talk to you about – that they’re making the Hobbit, and there’s rumours that you’ve received the script, you’ve read it and you could tell us a little something about it maybe?

Sir Ian:
I’d love to tell you something about it – the novel was written about 60 years ago (audience laughs) – the script based on the novel arrived to me in London by courier, which is an awful long way away. And it said on the outside I could not talk about it to any college, any friend any pet, any chats how host (Jimmy laughs) its absolutely out the question. I couldn’t write on the script, I couldn’t take it out of its plastic cover, every single page was encrypted so if a piece of it turned up on the internet they would know where it came from, and it would be collected in 12 hours by a courier who would shred it under supervision. So that script doesn’t exsist anymore, so what can I tell you ...

Jimmy Fallon:
(audience laughing) So how does it end? (laughing)

Sir Ian:
Reasonably happy ...
No, its a fantastic script, and we’re going to get going with it in the Spring in New Zealand, and a lot of the old characters are back ...

Jimmy Fallon:
... a great Director ...

Sir Ian:
Yes. Guillermo del Toro who did ‘Pans Labyrinth’ and Peter Jackson who did ‘The Lord of the Rings’, he did the script with Guillermo ..

Jimmy Fallon:
Wow – that’s going to be something.

Cheers
Elven

In the spring of New Zealand? [In reply to] Can't Post

But that's now! Or a year from now. Did Sir Ian get his seasons turned around and he's thinking of NZ's autumn?

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."

"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

This is one thing thats come up a few times - the seasonal timings - Crazy always makes me confused.

*revives, but still woozy* [In reply to] Can't Post

Okay... Thank you for the transcript, Elven :) I set my VCR to tape the show, but snagged the wrong channel. Typical.

Then I watched the clip you've given, and all I could see was Gandalf sitting there! He looks FABULOUS!!! And his energy is right there!

Soon... very soon... but not soon enough ;)

Thanks again!

Theodreds clip, (thanks Theoden) I just did a transcription - I miss having the time to do them - and I couldnt resist - the flashback was a classic on the interview.

... and when Sir Ian said he shredded it - well, ya know, I think its like all that 'shredded footage' Wink from LOTR ... some how I think that there was intructions on the front of that cover too - 'what ever you do - tell them you shredded it!!' LOL!! Wink

Im glad you recovered grams Heart

spring in the northern hemisphere [In reply to] Can't Post

McKellen got his seasons confused again. suffice it to say its spring in the Northern Hemisphere, Autumn (or thereabouts) in the Southern Hemisphere.

But a little patience - and a LOT of tape - make all the difference Evil
