E! Online has scored a casting coup, getting info on who will be playing the Black Lieutenant! Some think the Black Lieutenant is commonly known as Sauron, maybe PJ has something else planned, whatever the character, the casting choice is made! What do you folks think? Sauron or not? [More]


Bruce Spence, Sauron?

Acording to E! Online Bruce Spence has been cast as ‘The Black Lieutenant’, is this perhaps Sauron? Hmmm, very interesting.

Spence has appeared in many films and television series including ‘Dark City’ and ‘Mad Max’ II and III.
