…Sir Michael Gambon, according to reports from unconfirmed sources by E! News.
He certainly lacks the star power of a Harris, O’Toole, McKellen, Nimoy, and the other names posited, but he’s said to be very talented (and 10 years ago, McKellen was relatively unknown and O’Toole/Harris were has-beens).
Any thoughts?
Yes, I think this one is actually legit. Very wise choice.
I liked him in Longitude. Good show.
He did a good job in Wives and Daughters, too
Pepper Mill and I discssed this, and thought O’Toole would be the best choice. God knows he’s had similar roles, and he looks similar enough. I’m afraid I don’t know Gambon, so I can;t offer an opinion about him.
Hey, why not McKellan? He can be Gandalf and Dumbledore, and sew up the lucrative pop wizard franchise.
Gambon was evil-incarnate in The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover
I heard it was going to be Carrot Top in the Dumbledore role.
Dang. I was going to offer my services.
At far below superstar rates, too.
What a GREAT movie!
Oh, almost forgot - Sir Michael Gambon was great in Gosford Park as well.
Hastur, don’t ever do that to me again! Some things are just not acceptable, even as jokes…
