Liv Tyler Fans Are Sure To Be Disappointed

Patrick Stewart: “Tolkien was a hack.”

…he spoke to Peter Jackson about taking the role of Gandalf (for the original films) but turned it down because of the script!

Probably a good thing. They’d have had to CGI out his wheelchair. But the real reason he turned down the script probably had to do with more fundamental creative differences.
