GANDALF! NOOOOO!!!!!!!
Yes, very, very sick. I have not seen a Hollywood movie in seven years. I will continue to stay away and not even rent their product as long as they continue to mock my values.
Ian, How Gay!
I see Gandalf the Fairy still can't keep his mouth shut.
I wonder if he believes the Koran should also, and if so, why he has not expressed that opinion publically???
Silly old queen.
I'd ask him if he would be willing to say the same thing about the Koran. Also would he be willing to star in a movie depicting fictional theories about the Prophet Muhammed. It would be interesting to see just how courageous this person is.
The media will brush that little quote under the rug. Unlike with Gibson's father made a dumb quote.
Matthew 08-12: 11"I baptize you with[a] water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. 12His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
Well, Ian, you've spent your entire life ignoring the evidence that the Bible is true. May you have more time to see it before you die.. because there will finally be certain evidence you won't be able to ignore.
Welcome, Thread #3!
He may think it's fiction now but there will come a day where he will bow to him...

Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgment seat of God. 11For the Scriptures say,
" `As surely as I live,' says the Lord,
`every knee will bow to me
and every tongue will confess allegiance to God.' "[b]
12Yes, each of us will have to give a personal account to God. Romans 14:10-12
he's just trying to stir up interest in the movie. he's an old pro, it'll probably work pretty well.
i wish i could not see this movie based on the fact that the book was terrible and bad books = worse movies (see: dreamcatcher), but i made a committment to see 30 summer movies and this is on the list.
snakes on a plane is the highlight of the summer movie season for me.
Sick, but really good at marketing.
Want this movie to go away? Ignore it.
The comment by the has-been actor Ian McKellen is plain stupid and insensitive. However, biblical scholars know what is absolute truth and what is "fiction" in the bible. Some of the historal events claimed did not happen in the time frame or scope presented, or maybe not at all. The Apocolyptic verses are difficult to comprehend, for example. Although some biblical scholars believe the Bible is literal (to each his own); most think elsewise. It is just disgusting to have an ignoramus make such thoughtless and uninformed statements! My guess is that Ian was the high school cut up, and may or may not have finished college. Clearly he is not religious; not does he have any respect for those who are.
Displays of ignorance - proving once again why actors have to have their lines written buy someone else!
A lot of people in Hollywood are in for a rude awakening.
Remember..you VOTE WITH YOUR MONEY $$ EVERY DAY... :-)
