Actor Christopher Lee has said he was mystified to learn that his key scenes have been dropped from the third Lord of the Rings movie. —Rings director cuts wizard scenes (BBC)
Lee plays Sarumon, and in the book he reappears in the climax that brings the Hobbits back to the Shire. So far, I have been very happy with the director’s interpretation of the books, but I shudder to think that the movie might end once we learn of the fate of the ring. Frodo’s journey started out as a very personal quest, and his encounter with Sarumon in the Shire (where the evil wizard’s actions force Frodo to confront the real meaning of the life ethic Gandalf taught him) was a deeply, mind-blowingly personal event.

I love Lord of the Rings…. maybe I should get a life too… but really I can not wait LOTR : ROTK to come out… I’m going the night it comes out… back to the topic… I’m not liking Jackson cutting out the scene, I read the book a while ago and I thought this particular scene was a rather large scene… and why cut it… I want to get my 6 dollar admission worth… thats all…
Okay, okay… Metafilter has a long discussion with plenty of comments that explain the situation. Now that my fanboy geek reaction has faded, and now that I see that Jackson had never planned to film the Shire sequnces again, I feel a little better about this. I should just probably Get a Life and not worry about it. Sheesh.
