Ian McKellen And Andy Serkis Sign On For THE HOBBIT!

THR is reporting that Ian McKellen has officially signed on to reprise his Gandalf role in THE HOBBIT as well as Andy Serkis apparently confirming his role as Gollum (via Deadline). Keep in mind there is no confirmation from Serkis yet, but this eventuality has always been a slam dunk.

Warner Bros. is now fully financing THE HOBBIT(s) and will be distributing the movies worldwide.

THE HOBBIT starts lensing in New Zealand on February 14 and I WILL have exclusive updates for you from my embedded sources! That's a slam dunk too :-)
