It's always daunting to remake a classic. In TV circles, it doesn't get much more "classic" than

X-Men and
Lord of the Rings is also set to make an appearance, and, the word is, he's going to share an onscreen kiss with the star, Ricky Gervais. McKellen's a funny guy... I remember when he snuck a kiss from Jimmy Fallon when he hosted
