Last year I spent a night at Disneyland Paris where, as on previous trips to Universal Studios Los Angeles, I was struck by an irony. McKellen also reveals himself to be a theme park enthusiast - who knew? Then a party at the house of Barrie Osborne (Producer) and his partner Carol Kim (Production Manager.) At the end of the evening Billy Boyd (“Pippin”) persuaded me to follow him down the fireman’s pole that falls twenty feet to the hall. Peter had provided beer and wine but I’m off the alcohol and had two candy floss (cotton candy) and popcorn.

Term started with a rough cut of the action so far - those that didn’t need major special effects added.

He also describes being burdened with props - a staff, toffees, a pipe - before writing about his experience at the beginning of the shoot. In one of the earliest entries, McKellen compares early iterations of Gandalf’s beard to none other than Rasputin’s. After blowing off the web 1.0 dust, the entries are a charming look into how movies get made, as well as a fascinating peek behind the curtain of Peter Jackson’s hit trilogy ( which is still very, very good).īelow, we’ve compiled some of the highlights, ranging from funny stories from the set to broader philosophical musings. Earlier this month, on the 20th anniversary of his arrival in New Zealand to begin working on The Lord of the Rings, Sir Ian McKellen shared a link to the diaries he’d kept during production.
