Ian McKellen Gets Asked About Playing Dumbledore All The Time

Ian McKellen Gets Asked About Playing Dumbledore All The Time

It's one of the premier pop culture debates of our time: Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, or more specifically, Gandalf vs. Dumbledore. The two wizards, portrayed by Ian McKellen and Richard Harris/Michael Gambon, respectively, are iconic characters in two of the biggest franchises of the 21st century. So naturally, being in such a huge movie means that people come up to you on the street and ask about your time as a powerful wizard. Yet those people may not actually know which wizard you played, as Gandalf actor Ian McKellen has found out. The acclaimed actor apparently gets mistaken for that other wizard all the time, as he explained:

People come up to me and say 'My son's seen all the Harry Potter movies' because they think I'm Michael Gambon. When Richard Harris was ill, I was asked if I'd consider being in the movies [as his replacement] and I said, 'Absolutely. But I never heard anything else about it. Before Richard Harris died he took time out to tell the world that he thought certain actors were rubbish -- and my name was on this rather short list. With Kenneth Branagh's. I was in good company.

I wonder if, when a fan first comes up to Ian McKellen, he guesses whether or not they'll be a Lord of the Rings fan or a Harry Potter fan. It's funny because it's not like he was in some small film as a wizard either, The Lord of the Rings movies were huge, and he was in The Hobbit trilogy as well, so it's not like there is a lot more Dumbledore onscreen or anything. I guess these parents just recognize Ian McKellen as a famous actor that they know played a wizard and they know that their kid watched Harry Potter, so they conflate the two things.

It's ironic that Ian McKellen gets mistaken for Dumbledore when it was once a possibility that he could have played that character as well as Gandalf. However, as he told Time Out, original Dumbledore actor Richard Harris apparently didn't approve of his acting and he couldn't take on the role formerly played by an actor who wasn't a fan of his. So the role ultimately went to Michael Gambon, and now Ian McKellen is always reminded of the wizard he wasn't.

What's also funny about this is that I'm pretty sure Ian McKellen doesn't regularly walk around with a wizard-sized beard, as he is usually clean-shaven or only rocking a little facial hair. Given that, you would think that he might be more recognizable and have more fans coming up to him about his role as Magneto in the X-Men movies. Although maybe if he had his Gandalf beard he wouldn't be mistaken for Dumbledore as much. Who can say. But it isn't just Ian McKellen who gets asked about a character he didn't play. Curious if this mistaken case of magical identity goes both ways, and if Michael Gambon gets people coming up to him about Gandalf, Ian McKellen actually asked him:

I asked him if he ever gets confused with me. He said, 'Urgh, all the time.' I asked him what he did. He said, 'Oh, I just sign your name.'

So this isn't just a case of Harry Potter fans suffering the effects of a Confundus Charm; Lord of the Rings fans are also mixing up their actors, not knowing the difference between one of the Maia and a schoolteacher. I like that Michael Gambon just signs Ian McKellen's name. This probably happens with such frequency that he stopped trying to correct people and found it easier to just go with it.

The Dumbledore/Gandalf debate is likely to rage on for years to come, and these two beloved franchises aren't going anywhere, with each having new stories in the offing. Amazon is working on a massive Lord of the Rings TV series for its streaming service, and Ian McKellen didn't rule out a return to his iconic, and occasionally mistaken, role. On the other side of the fantasy spectrum, you'll be able to see a young Dumbledore played by Jude Law in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, in theaters on November 16.

The Most Rented Movie In 2017 Is A Surprise

The Most Rented Movie In 2017 Is A Surprise

If you had to guess what the most rented movie was last year, what would you say? You might think back to all the biggest movies of 2017, like IT, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Beauty and the Beast or Thor: Ragnarok. But all of those guesses would miss the mark. The truth is that the most rented movie last year was a film that didn't even come out last year. It was released in 2016, and that is the Ben Affleck action movie, The Accountant.

Did you see that one coming? Indeed, the most rented movie last year wasn't some huge blockbuster comic book movie or sequel to a name property, but an action film starring Ben Affleck as a deadly math nerd. Coming in second behind The Accountant on the rental front was Moana, and then Wonder Woman. These stats come from The Hollywood Reporter, citing the MPAA's annual report, which has for the first time included home entertainment. These rental stats are based on digital rentals of movies, not physical rentals. That's not terribly surprising since most people would have to do some serious searching to find a video rental store, and digital is now the preferred rental format. So these are rentals you might make through your cable provider or a service like Amazon or Vudu. It is also worth noting that these stats reflect paid rentals, and not films included as streaming options, like on Netflix.

These top three rentals are interesting, and there are probably a lot of factors that helped them find their way to the top of the list. It's not terribly surprising that a 2016 release topped the charts since 2017 films wouldn't have been available for rental the whole year. The Accountant was released in late 2016, so it was probably available for the majority of last year to rent digitally and had more time to rack up the numbers. Director Gavin O'Connor's movie made $155.1 million at the worldwide box office and was a relative hit given its budget. However there were many people who didn't see it in theaters. The Accountant is definitely the exact kind of movie you rent; a fun action movie that you didn't see in theaters and don't want to buy outright, but still want to watch during a night in.

The musical Moana also likely benefitted from being released the year before, and as a kids movie was probably something parents could quickly rent and throw on to entertain the little ones. Wonder Woman was a huge box office success, and as a June theatrical release, it wasn't even available on digital until the end of August. So it had less than half the year, and Patty Jenkins' brilliant film still drew in enough audiences to claim a bronze medal in the movie rental race.

We already know that Warner Bros. is moving ahead with The Accountant 2, with Ben Affleck set to return, and I imagine the performance of the first film on digital over the past year has only affirmed that this is a good decision. Check out our guide to see all the Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases you can check out this month, and for all the latest in move news, stay tuned to CinemaBlend.
