[Very Much Alive/Old Thread] Sir Ian McKellen...

[Mallus]

Also check out his Richard the III film. He's fantastic, and the adaptation is great; lean, mean, and set in some strange conflation of England and Germany circa World War II.

It's interesting that the fear in Hollywood is that if any gay male actor comes out of the closet, his career will die. But since McKellen came out, his movie career has taken off. First "Apt Pupil," then "Gods and Monsters," then "X-men" and now "Lord of the Rings." I'm glad things have worked out for him, because he's obviously a talented actor.

That's because at his age, sex is of no concern to Hollywood actors. They won't get casted in a sexy role unless very lucky, anyway, so you don't care wether they'd shag men or women.

Even though Magneto gets it on with Mystique, she can change to his specifications, right?

Yes, considering the fact that the board is only two years old, it MUST be...

 

[Mystery Man]

If they had just bit the bullet and named him the new Dumbledore aftet the sad death of Richard Harris, Sir Ian would go down in history as having completed the Geek Trifecta--Gandalf, Magneto, Dumbledore.

Not that I care much, but I do have kids so...

But anyway The new Dumbledore

When I heard the rumor (?) that Sir Ian was being considered for Dumbledore, I was quite excited. I thought he would've done a great job.

I'll second this. I based a great alternate history game on some concepts of this movie.

I agree. While I think Mr. Gambon will do a good job, I would have loved to see Sir Ian McKellen.
