PLUME: That brings us to the continuing adventure in regards to the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy…
MCKELLEN: Anyone interested in the answer to that question should read my diary, which comes out about once a month on my website. I`ve been telling the story of that as it proceeds… I did the same thing with X-Men as well. Peter Jackson says it`s the biggest film ever made – the most ambitious film ever made, in terms of logistics and technicalities. It`s an absolutely mammoth project. What`s rather appealing is that it`s all happening in New Zealand. It`s a New Zealand film – it`s financed from America with a few foreigners like myself brought in to help out, but it was dreamt up by a New Zealander, directed by one, the script writers are New Zealanders, most of the crew are… The amazing effects and props and costumes will be designed and made there in workshops. It feels like making a home movie, in that sense. Everyone`s friends and knows each other. It`s very pleasant to visit them, and they live in the most beautiful landscape – which, again, are New Zealand and very crucial to the effect of the film. It`s a moving and important myth that you are involved in, so it`s totally satisfying. mehr über The IGN Sir Ian McKellen Interview...
