Surprised Ian McKellen would want to come back after his breakdown from all the green screen shit in The Hobbit movies. Maybe he’s more used to it given that’s basically Hollywood now.
Wasn’t that because it was filmed with 3D cameras though? So they couldn’t use the tricks they used in the LotR films. Forced perspective shots and such.
I’ve just rewatched the films and hope this turns out to be a decent companion piece.

Iirc it wasn’t the use of greenscreens itself that was the issue, but that he had to do the scenes without the other actors present.
