Besties Ian McKellen & Patrick Stewart on Envy, "Star Trek" Costumes & the 'Gandalf Face'. Sir Ian is quite kind to Trekkies. RAMA
It's funny, in some of Michael Pillar's early drafts for Insurrection he envisaged a Vulcan character played by Ian McKellan. It's a shame that idea was scrapped when Stewart wanted the film to go in a different direction.
I wonder what happened to the modern day Merchant of Venice (set in Las Vegas) that those two were supposed to be working on...
