I can think of several actors who could have done as good a job portraying Gandalf: Sean Connery, Brian Blessed, Derek Jacobi, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Patrick Stewart

GAH! NO! This I wholeheartedly disagree with, at least the Sean Connery bit. And Patrick Stewart (wow, I just wrote "Steward" by accident... LotR..overload..). They're brilliant actors, but somehow I can't see them being Gandalf. Patrick Stewart just always makes me think Captain Picard, and probably always will.
But yes, a remake probably will be done. No doubt it will be great, and hopefully more true to the books, but I think it's a little early to be worrying a full remake just yet.
