A real landscape changes everything. Especially for Ian McKellen

The filming of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit was very different. In any case, this is what Ian McKellen (Gandalf) says at Time Out. The actor has already said on several occasions that he suffered from the omnipresent technology on the set of The Hobbit, something to which he was little accustomed during the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. In comments from Millenium, Ian McKellen admits that The Hobbit left him with quite bad memories. “I was unhappy. Maybe it’s my impression, but I don’t remember a green screen in Lord of the Rings. If Gandalf was on top of a mountain, I was there on the mountain. The technology was being invented while we were making the film” he declares.
