November 5, 2009 - Sir McKellen seems to be the most vocal member of the cast/crew of "The Hobbit." This time he talks about the script (which he's gotten to read) and Del Toro.
November 5, 2009 - "We are respecting the structure established by Professor Tolkien because the order of the adventures in The Hobbit is well known to generations and generations of kids... But we will be integrating Gandalf's comings and goings because he does disappear in the book quite often."
October 26, 2009 - Looks like we may be seeing Aragorn in the 2-film version of The Hobbit.
October 5, 2009 - It's not exactly a how-to, but a how-do-they-do-it at a special effects shop (but they really are REAL swords).
