I had no idea that Ian McKellen kept a blog during the making of Lord of the Rings. Excellent behind-the-scenes look from 1999, via Kottke.
@manton Just reading the first entry, I sense that it will be a treat. In this tweet from January 10, Ian McKellen annouces his journal (blog) and mentions that it was 20 years ago that he arrived in New Zealand to begin shooting Lord of The Rings. 20 years ago?! Where has the time gone?
