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.
