A pesar de la noticia del mes pasado donde parecía que Christopher Lee deseaba participar en la adaptación cinematográfica de El Hobbit, la página Cinematical desvela que en el Festival de Cine de Karlovy Vary (República Checa), celebrado la semana pasada, Christopher Lee comentó que no iba a participar en El Hobbit porque Saruman no sale en el libro. Para ampliar la información, pinchad en leer más. Cuando le preguntaron acerca de la segunda película y la posible aparición en el Concilio, respondió que tampoco porque Nueva Zelanda está demasiado lejos y sería una estancia prolongada en el tiempo. Aunque no dice que no le interese participar. El papel en el que estaría interesado es Smaug, donde podría ponerle la voz.
Podéis leer la noticia en inglés a continuación.
Christopher Lee attended the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival this week, and our friends from RushBlogg, Karsten and Eirik, were on hand to talk to him. Of all the attendees, Meinich was the only one who asked Lee about his involvement in The Hobbit. Lee’s answer came as quite a surprise — first, he’s adamant that he won’t be appearing in The Hobbit, because as we all know, Saruman isn’t in the book. This comes as no surprise — Lee is a Tolkien purist (thank goodness!) and he won’t allow himself to be shoehorned in, even if Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro were interested in doing so.
But what about the much discussed second film, which would likely deal with the Council of Wizards? That’s a location problem. Lee isn’t interested in filming in New Zealand again because it is simply too far away, for too long of a time. You can hear the tiredness in his voice — and perhaps a bit of regret too.
That doesn’t mean Lee isn’t interested in being in The Hobbit at all, however! He’ll appear in the film as long as he can stay in London, and there’s a character he’s quite keen to play. Or rather, voice. Someone very large, with a penchant for gold…
Head on over to RushBlogg and watch their video of Lee. It’s a fantastic clip, and listening to him talk about Saruman, Return of the King, the Council of Wizards, and much more. It’s like story-time. I could listen to him talk about Middle Earth for hours.
