    McKellen joins King Kong

    From imdb.com
    Lord Of The Rings legend Sir Ian McKellen is eager to reunite with director Peter Jackson on the set of upcoming remake King Kong, after the film-maker hinted there was a role for him. Jackson has reportedly signed up his Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers star Andy Serkis for a lead role in the highly-anticipated movie, and now McKellen is desperate to join the project. And according the veteran actor, Jackson has already implied a part is available if he wants it. He says, "He did say he might have something for me to do in King Kong, and I hope that's true." Shooting on the film, starring Naomi Watts in the role made famous by Fay Wray, is due to begin next year.
    A touch of British class...

    Will Andy Serkis actually play a human or the mighty KONG????
    Would be interesting to see the actor who played Gollum actually break true as an actor without CGI.

    What part would Ian McKellen play? Maybe the part of King Kong! "YOU SHALL NOT PASS KING KONG!"

    If you have seen the behind the scenes features on the 4-disc extended version for The Two Towers, you will see that Serkis will play Smeagol in Return of the King without CGI in the opening sequences.
