No real news here, but when else are you going to see Gandalf (Ian McKellen) in 3D glasses? Here he is on the set of The Hobbit--presumably checking out footage they've shot--in a photo taken by Peter Jackson in Wellington.
One of the most beloved inhabitants of Arda is Gandalf, the kindly wizard who acts as aid and protector to both Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit and Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings. But Gandalf's backstory is packed with details never mentioned in the films. One of those details is the meaning of his name.
The mere mention of the movie Cats is enough to send everyone into shivers. The movie has been made fun of in talk shows, in award shows and basically just about everywhere. The less than perfect visual effects have been the butt of many jokes, and have overshadowed the redeeming qualities of the movie.
To the people who have yet to watch the movie, here are a few reasons why it’s worth watching.
Despite what he said on Extras, Sir Ian spent a lot of time working on becoming Gandalf.
Told you guys - 3D is AWESOME!
He totally looks like he is ready to rock out with ZZ Tops in this picture.
Very nice! It's just cool to see Gandalf back in costume. I'm getting the tingles, though I'm not exactly excited about seeing it in 3D.
lol awesome, if Gandalf likes it, so do I.
You can see his eyes through the glasses looking at the picture taker. For some reason, that kinda creeps me out.
