The Lord of the Rings actress advised to make Gandalf a woman
In the new multi-part movie adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", which is engaged in studio Amazon, the wizard Gandalf must become a woman. This is insisted by the New Zealand actress Robin Malcolm, who played the cameo role of Morwen in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Her words are quoted by Stuff. "All these old legends, popular mystical stories, they are always based on a patriarchal view of the world. Why not look at the magic of the matrilineal world, where women are the source of magic?" she asks. Malcolm emphasized that she can name several New Zealand actresses who could play Gandalf, but if the creators of the series are looking for world-famous stars, then "you need to turn to Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins or Maggie Smith." The actress is not worried about the possible negative reaction of fans of Tolkien's work to such a "replacement". "We already had a female Hamlet. So why not do so in this case," - said the actress. Recall that the Amazon studio acquired the rights to movie "The Lord of the Rings" for $ 250 million. The action is expected to take place long before the events of the Peter Jackson trilogy. Filming will take place in New Zealand. that Amazon had acquired the movie rights to The Lord of the Rings for $ 250 million.
