In this interview of the actors on the AirNZ Hobbit plane, Mr. Campbell interviews McCoy. At 3:55 into it,

Campbell: What's it like? Is it something you feel very proud of?

McCoy: Proud isn't the word! Proud, it's just ...it's awesome! No Honestly! I mean it really is. I mean...in three of them! I mean, for years you wait for a Hollywood film to come along and then, like London buses, three come along at the same time. It's great!

I only bring it up because I have a vague memory of speculation here somewhere (couldn't find it) that maybe Radagast wouldn't survive film 1. I guess he's safe - at least until the end of #3.[evil]
 
I'm secretly pleased that Radagast is appearing in all three. It gives more weight to him not dieing, and simply leaving.

I don't think they could kill him during TABA - it would take it away from Thorin, Fili and Kili.

[:)]
 
and seeing Sylvester McCoy's obvious enthusiasm in playing Radagast, I'm even happier that Radagast will be in all three films! (He didn't mention zombies or moths, unfortunately; however he did mention voice-over work. However he qualified it with saying it was to clean up some dialogue. Hmm....)
 
there are some things that never change.[:P]
Not enough to do today, JW?[;)][laugh][sly]
I just love emoticons. Very useful, what?
Cheers
 
I can't remember what it's called? They had to so it a lot for the LOTR trilogy, since the studios were not sound proofed.
 
I'm in between tasks and came up for a breather.

I'm in the middle of archiving images/software/data from my collection of several obsolete, but still functional, computers onto my RAID server for backup. I want to clear up space the old junk is occupying and take it all to the next computer recycle day this spring. One of them is a 50 Mhz DOS computer. Really. ;) I can run all that stuff on DOS Box now if I have to. The first thing I got going is Magic Carpet 2. Awesome DOS game.
 
So his third film scene could easily be a flashback. [:P]

I kind of doubt it though, you guys are probably right, that he doesn't die. We'll see...
 
please let him come back as the moth, not the zombie.

But why couldn't he come back as Radagast the White? Or has this been discussed?
 
I was meant to be camping out on the red carpet today, but the excitement has gotten to be too much, and the bod said, "STAY HOME on the sofa watching live coverage on TV". (It really did shout.) Hence the trawling of oldish Hobbit-related news reports and videos I've missed...and speculation about zombie wizards.[crazy]
 
It's so obvious that Radagast takes a sip of water while traveling through Fangorn and transmutes into Treebeard. I mean, really, c'mon people get with it.

When’s the last time you looked at a luna moth? Yep, that’s right: our favorite brownie is destined to turn over a new leaf and return as . . .
Radagast the Green!
