From the BBC website:

Quote:
Sir Ian McKellen has said he would be "very pleased" to reprise his role as wizard Gandalf in the planned film of JRR Tolkien's novel The Hobbit.

"If I am still functioning and working well, it is very likely I would be asked to do it," he told Reuters.

Sir Ian played the role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, landing an Oscar nomination in the process.

Due to a legal dispute with film studio New Line, however, Peter Jackson will not be back as director for The Hobbit.

Shame that Jackson won't be directing.

I don't think anyone else other than Sir Ian could fill that role as well as he did.

As sage cat says he's the only guy who could play Gandalf really

I think it is an incredible shame that Peter Jackson will not be directing it though. But Newline seem to be pulling some kind of fast one there. Okay I don't know all the ins and outs of the case but if they owe monies then they should cough up.
