Meena, chatroom regular, sent these letters from Ian McKellen. They were sent to a friend of hers. Those who have doubts that those are actual responses from Ian, have no fear, that’s really him.

2nd:
a brief boring reply to yr questions. i don’t seem to have a favorite movie– too many anyway. No i haven’t missed playing a part i really wanted and i have never had ambitions about particular parts being more concerned with other things like the director, the rest of the cast, the schedule, etc.
best wishes
ian mckellen
Great to hear he’s got a rapport with the fans! Keep sending me things like this, good to hear

It seems that news of SW: EP 2 being pushed UP to Summer 2001 (to match it with LOTR) is unfounded. Episode2.net has an interview with George Lucas in the Swedish Magazine ‘Expressen’ and they asked the bearded wonder the ultimate question:
Expressen: WHEN WILL THE NEXT FILM BE RELEASED?
GL:From the beginning my plans where to make them with three years interval, but now I’ve realized that it takes four years to do a movie in reality, because the production has been even more extensive than I could imagine. Still, the vision of course is to release “Episode 2” in 2002, but as it seems today, its more likely be in 2003.
I seem to remember George Lucas on Leno saying something to the same effect earlier this summer. So it seems the dreams of Star Wars and LOTR in the same summer will not come true.
