New to DocPlay in June & July

Spearheading the coming attractions this month and next on documentary streaming platform DocPlay is McKellen: Playing the Part, complete with footage of Sir Ian McKellen on the set of The Lord of the Rings.

“The thrilling clips here of his big Shakespearean roles are worth the price of a ticket alone,” The Guardian said.

“About his film work, he calls Gandalf ‘a show-off’ and there’s cracking footage of him being witheringly polite to Peter Jackson who’s giving him bland direction …

“McKellen occasionally slips into the part of twinkly super-cool gay uncle that he tends to play in interviews these days.

“But mostly he’s thoughtful and self-reflective (and not at all gossipy about his theatrical chums, disappointingly).”
