He'll be pushing 80 when filming starts. Considering this is a prequel, that's going to be interesting. (yes yes, I know that he's technically one of the Maiar and is ageless, yaddayaddayadda. Buzz off Tolkienites. :)</p> Dunno – Ian McKellen is getting up there in years too. He’ll be pushing 80 when filming starts. Considering this is a prequel, that’s going to be interesting.
