Screen Rant —
... script has surfaced (or at least a draft of it) and lucky Sir McKellen has apparently had a read of it. However, it’s early days yet for the film (Part 1 doesn’t come out until the end of 2011), and sadly but not surprisingly, McKellen is staying tight-lipped about what’s in the script.

... I'm not to say anything at all about the script...And I think the script, because I have read it, plays very much to Guillermo's strengths, as I've seen them.

McKellen has read the screenplay to the Hobbit and he had very little to say in terms of spoilers, other than that the script was penned just for him (as it should be) by producers (and LOTR aficionados) Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and of course Del Toro himself. Here is the rest of his report as told by Sci-Fi Wire: ...
