I just learned two of my favorite characters will be back on our screens in an upcoming project.Ian McKellan, the actor behind the famous beard as Middle-earth's Gandalf the Grey, let the details slip at an event in London over the weekend."I hear there's going to be another movie based in Middle-earth, and it's going to start filming in May. It's going to be directed by Gollum, and it's all about Gollum," McKellen said at the For the Love of Fantasy event on Aug. 17.He added, "I'll tell you two secrets about the casting: There's a character in the movie called Frodo, and there's a character in the movie called Gandalf."The moment was captured by Gronk Cosplay, a fan in attendance, and you can hear the crowd's reaction to the news. @gronkcosplay HUGE hunt for Gollum casting announcement #huntforgollum #ianmckellen #castingannouncement #lotr #breakingnews Peter Jackson, the director who brought us the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, is on the project as a producer.
