TORn staffer Berendir was watching Fox 25, on “Good Day Live” yesterday, and desperately reached for the nearest notepad as Ian McKellen got on the phone. Here are some quotes from Sir Ian’s conversation:
“I think i’ll probably celebrate tonight with a group of friend and we’ll lay down the ground rules, “no talking about the lord of the rings.”
Was everything that you have done on stage on film, and as a public advocate, how do you put this in perspective, what odes it mean to you?

“Movies are international, we’re all part of the same big family, it’s an honor, its a confirmation of friendship really.”

Repetitive action scenes and non-existent character development do not an award-winning film make. [More]
