Gandalf loses it! Filming the Hobbit trilogy with just green screens and stand-ins got to acting legend Ian McKellen, so much so that he ended up crying on set. Like, just imagine yelling lines into thin air? That was all McKellen was required to do while filming the trilogy.

Martin Freeman‘s brilliant career encompasses comedy (the original U.K. The Office), drama, and epic fantasy (The Hobbit trilogy). But few roles in his impressive catalogue have been as unsparingly realistic and raw as that of The Responder‘s Chris Carson, the conflicted and emotionally exhausted police officer working the soul-crushing night shift in gritty Liverpool. He won an International Emmy for The Responder‘s first season, and Season 2 (with two episodes premiering weekly) plunges Carson even deeper into perilous rabbit holes of deception and frustration. Chris, demoted from his former rank of Inspector, has one goal this season: to land a day job on the force that would keep him closer to his estranged wife (MyAnna Buring), who threatens to move to London with their adorable daughter (Romi Hyland-Rylands), whose first communion is approaching. But his complicated dealings with shady cops and local ...

Warner Bros. Animation unveiled a brand new visual for The Lord of the Rings: The War The Of Rohirrim at Anime Expo 2024 on July 3, 2024.
It features the film’s heroine, Héra, the daughter of Helm Hammerhand, showcasing the strong female lead that director Kenji Kamiyama is excited to bring to the screen.
The visual can be viewed below:
In an interview with Anime Expo, director Kenji Kamiyama spoke about the female representation in the film.
“In Japanese animation, it’s not uncommon for a female protagonist to be the main character, but it’s more rare in the live-action films made from The Lord of the Rings.

After Peter Jackson adapted J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings, and delved into the realm of Middle-earth, several epic iterations and enduring friendships were forged through the process. Venturing through one of those iconic behind-the-scenes anecdotes, we came across the story of Viggo Mortensen’s spontaneous kiss with a Hobbit actor.

Back to the 2003 epic fantasy The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, Viggo Mortensen shared a hilarious moment with Billy Boyd, when he recklessly kissed the actor behind cameras, during Sam and Rosie’s wedding scene. According to Mortensen, he wanted to add a bit of recklessness, but Boyd on the other hand fell in love.

Fans of Hergé’s iconic comic book hero Tintin have reason to be optimistic, as Andy Serkis, star of the 2011 film “The Adventures of Tintin,” recently hinted at a possible sequel in the works. Speaking at the Ace Superhero Comic Con 2024, Serkis offered a tantalizing update on the long-awaited “The Adventures of Tintin 2.”
The original film, directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson, was a groundbreaking achievement in motion capture animation. It won the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature and set a new standard for the technology outside of Pixar’s domain. Despite its success and initial plans for a trilogy, the sequel has been in development limbo for over a decade.

Warning: This article contains intense nerdery and some reckless speculation for "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" season 2.
"Canon" and "lore" are the buzzwords of the day, apparently, and no popular franchise is safe from accusations of "breaking" the sacred texts that came before. "Star Wars" is currently weathering accusations regarding its fealty to George Lucas' previous films and other extraneous material with the Disney+ prequel series "The Acolyte," which dared to include everyone's favorite lumpy-headed Jedi Ki-Adi-Mundi and singlehandedly set off weeks of debate over when he was actually born.
Similar criticisms were lobbed at "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" during its debut season two years ago, mostly as a result of misunderstandings over whether the Middle-earth series is connected to the Peter Jackson "Rings" movies (spoiler: it's not) or incredibly nerdy nitpicking over changes that J.R.R. Tolkien himself would've told fans to chill out about.

J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings is one of the most popular franchises that has gained a massive fan following for its masterful narrative skills and richly created world featuring some of the most beautifully written characters. Central to the franchise’s popularity lies Sir Ian McKellen’s pipe-smoking, powerful wizard, Gandalf.

Fans adored the character’s portrayal, which added depth and intrigue to the lore. Embodying the stereotypical mentor, he transcended the role with its complexity and morality. The wisdom of the age-old wizard is unmatched as he guides other characters to their destiny.
While fans have witnessed the wisdom of McKellen’s wizard, some fortunate students were lucky enough to receive his life-changing wisdom as the 85-year-old actor shared a piece of advice with some students.

The late actor Christopher Lee had two major franchise films in the year 2002. While he reprised his villain role of Saruman in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, he was also cast in another villain role in George Lucas’s Star Wars prequel trilogy. Lee played the role of Count Dooku, a former Jedi Master who turned to the Dark Side. However, not everyone was sold on the idea of casting the legendary actor.

In a letter to his mother written on January 4, 1892, Arthur Tolkien broke the news that his wife had just given birth to their first son. "The baby is (of course) lovely. It has beautiful hands and ears (very long fingers), very light hair, 'Tolkien' eyes and very distinctly a 'Suffield' mouth," Arthur enthused. "In general effect immensely like a very fair edition of its Aunt Mabel Mitton."
The lovely baby was given the name John Ronald Reubel Tolkien, and some years later he used his very long fingers to write a fantasy novel called "The Hobbit" and its epic follow-up, "The Lord of the Rings." Now, 132 years after Arthur Tolkien wrote his letter, Amazon's spin-off TV series "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" is gearing up for the premiere of its second season -- and a father and son relationship will be a key part of the story.

Viggo Mortensen found worldwide fame and love for portraying the role of Aragorn in Peter Jackson’s iconic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. But before he found fame as Isildur’s heir, Mortensen had another important role at hand in 1986!

Before he became the famous actor that he is today, Mortensen auditioned for the role of Sergeant Elias in the 1986 film titled Platoon. Despite being selected for the role, Mortensen found that Willem Dafoe had replaced him in the lead role in quite a terrible fashion!

News of Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis’s eyebrow-raising return to Middle-earth seems to have passed the two stars by. Are Aragorn and Gandalf to be replaced?
Just how exactly did Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis’s shocking plan to return to Middle-earth with the forthcoming The Lord of The Rings: The Hunt for Gollum come about? Let us imagine the duo kicking back in Jackson’s Hobbity New Zealand pad with a good batch of Longbottom Leaf, several cases of miruvor wine recently delivered from Lothlórien, and plenty of seed cakes and cold chicken. Conspicuous by their absence from the party, however, unless something distinctly fishy is going on, are Viggo Mortensen and Ian McKellen. Because neither seems to have been so much as consulted about the new movie before it was announced to the public.

No, it's not the early 2000s. Be that as it may, not one but two "Lord of the Rings" movies found themselves comfortably in the top 10 at the box office this past weekend. Indeed, thanks to a re-release of Peter Jackson's much-beloved trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy saga by Fathom Events, both "The Fellowship of the Ring" and "The Two Towers" managed to sneak past "The Strangers: Chapter 1" to make it onto the charts.
"Fellowship of the Ring" found itself at number eight over the weekend with a $2.45 million haul, just behind "The Fall Guy" ($2.59 million). Landing at number nine was "The Two Towers," which pulled in $1.9 million. Warner Bros. and Fathom released both films on just over 1,500 screens. What's more, these were the 4K remastered, extended editions of the films, meaning they clocked in at nearly four hours each. Plus, they played just once each day across the country,...

Warner Bros. Animation, New Line Cinema and Sola Entertainment previewed 20 minutes of its upcoming anime feature “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,” receiving thunderous applause during the packed presentation on Tuesday at the Annecy Animation Festival.
Director Kenji Kamiyana said he was inspired by not just J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings” books, but by the films of Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, who were confirmed as exec producers of the movie during the session.
The new story is set nearly 200 years before Bilbo Baggins comes into contact with the ring of power, and centers on the House of Helm Hammerhand, the King of Rohan (voiced by Brian Cox), with a focus on his daughter, the strong willed Princess Héra (voiced by Gaia Wise). In the clip, a dispute erupts during a council meeting, leaving Wulf, a ruthless Dunlending lord, seeking vengeance.

Lord of the Rings Makes US Box Office Charts Comeback Following 4K Cinema Re-Release - Main Image
Lord of the Rings proved that it’s still hugely popular, enough that it reached the box office top 10 in the US this weekend. What makes this more impressive is that it achieved this feat with a limited re-release.
To be exact, the US box office top 10 chart over the weekend saw The Fellowship of the Ring and The Two Towers in the eighth and ninth spots.
Even though it has been over two decades since the trilogy was initially released, the fact that they achieved box-office success again in a limited run might mean big things for the franchise moving forward.

When it comes to legendary performances in cinema, Ian McKellen’s portrayal of Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies holds a special place.

Fresh off the printing press, Netflix has confirmed that it is launching its own Agatha Christie series titled The Seven Dials Mystery, inspired by the eponymous novel by the most famous detective author of all times. The series comes as another in a series of Agatha Christie adaptations, but it will be the first one headed by Netflix, as most of the other adaptations were helmed by either BBC or ITV, i.e., British studios. And while this series is also going to have a “British air” to it, it remains to be seen how Netflix’s production values will be transposed into this series.
Netflix does have some experience with this, as the Enola Holmes series proved to be a proper hit for the streaming service, but tackling Agatha Christie is something completely different, so it remains to be seen how it will all play out. But, based on...

They say that time heals all wounds, but what about the bruises that the inescapability of time itself inflicts on us?
An inspiring pipe-smoking and immensely powerful wizard, J. R. R. Tolkien’s Gandalf is an epic Lord of the Rings character who quickly asserted himself as a favorite amongst the fandom. And if there’s someone fans love more than the wise old wizard, it’s Ian McKellen – the man who portrayed him on-screen.

Ian McKellen gave life to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, and as Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, many fans want to know if the actor would reprise his role.
In a new interview, McKellen has addressed if he would return to play the wizard created by J.R.R. Tolkien in the film set to be directed by Andy Serkis and due to premiere in 2026.
McKellen told The Times of London that he’s heard “stirrings in Tolkien land,” and due to his role in Player Kings, he hasn’t “shaved in months.”
“But there is no script, there is no offer, there is no plan,” he added, jokingly answering if he would be interested in reprising his role, “If I’m alive.”
In an interview with Deadline earlier this year, Jackson talked about why focusing on Gollum was interesting.

Not that long ago, we confirmed that Peter Jackson was indeed coming back to The Lord of the Rings franchise, but as a producer, and that a new movie had been confirmed for a 2026 release. The movie was soon revealed to be The Hunt for Gollum, and we also received confirmation that Andy Serkis would be coming back to the role that made him famous, but that he would also be directing the movie as well. As part of a large plan to revitalize The Lord of the Rings cinematic franchise, all of this news certainly seems interesting, and so are the casting rumors.
Serkis is the only confirmed actor so far, but we have reported recently that Viggo Mortensen is open to returning as Aragorn, and we have now received news of another cast member from the original trilogy expressing his desire to return to the franchise, but there is a very morbid catch.

Despite dystopian fantasy novels filling up bookstores on every street corner around the world, only a rare few manage to never go out of stock. It may be as ancient as J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit (1937) or as recent as Suzanne Collins’s The Hunger Games (2008), but the allure of escaping into a universe beyond one’s imagination never fails to attract crowds of fans thirsty for an escape.

Like J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythology of Middle-earth, J.K. Rowling’s Hogwarts, and George R.R. Martin’s Westeros, the dystopian city of Panem that serves as the setting of the Hunger Games then ushers in a world crafted by an excess of violence, control, power, political machinations, and tragedy.

Evangeline Lilly’s acting career has spanned 22 years, and in this period, she has worked in films like Real Steel, Crisis, The Hobbit, and many more films. However, her most iconic role would be that of Hope Van Dyne, which she has been portraying in Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man trilogy and Avengers: Endgame.

The role has not only earned her fame and love from fans around the world but also made her a critically praised name in the MCU. But what’s more surprising is that even though she has worked in four Marvel films, she has a remarkably modest net value compared to her peers.
Sadly, after entertaining movie enthusiasts for so many years, she has decided to step away from it all to follow her dharma.
