Ian McKellan on a red carpet.
The Big Picture As cited on The Hollywood Reporter, the legendary British actor Ian McKellan's next starring role has been confirmed, and it will be opposite RuPaul’s Drag Race U.K. star, Divina de Campo. The pair will share the lead role in Lisa Ott's stop-motion film, Dragfox. McKellan's iconic booming voice will be used for Ginger Snap the Fox, with Divina set to provide the vocals for the character's drag musical number.
"Sam's search for identity gets interrupted by a mysterious neighbourhood fox. Together they embark on a magical journey to the attic to discover the things they might have in common, and how to celebrate the ways in which they differ." "We were looked at from other people’s points of view, and what’s important about growing up – as this film says – is to be yourself. Not in a selfish way but just in a life-affirming way. There was a total lack of that for me, as I suppose there is for trans people today. And often the best way to get a message over is not to make a speech or write a book, but to make people smile. Lead them in. Persuade them there’s nothing frightening going on. Which is exactly what this film does.
"For a trans kid, it’s a seminal moment to see yourself reflected in films or TV. The story of Sam and Ginger Snap reminds us all that our uniqueness is our greatest strength, and that love and acceptance can be found in the most unexpected places."
