Well, if you’re soundless (like my computer has been for the last month), or simply don’t have Quicktime, here’s a transcript of what Chris had to say:<\/p>\n
Interviewer: As you know, there was some concern over the proposed changes in the death of Saruman, before you left for NZ. Has that issue been resolved?<\/p>\n
Christopher Lee: The answer to that, quite simply, is that I don’t know. This subject has come up, many times. I’ve even been quoted as saying that I’ve signed a petition, which had been drawn up by a lot of people asking for changes to be made. I don’t know where they got the information from as to what happens to Saruman in the Two Towers. I don’t really know myself. There has been no final decision made as to how Saruman dies. That I can say.<\/p>\n
Interviewer: Are you happy with that?<\/p>\n
Christopher Lee: Yes because there are alternative possiblities. And the one that people think they know is the answer, is not necessarily correct. But I can’t honestly say, because that lies in the hands of the director when he cuts the picture.<\/p>\n
The end! <\/p>\n
And what does all that mean? Certainly that – as has been speculated – multiple death scenes were filmed for Saruman.<\/p>\n
The one that people think they know is almost certainly the infamous (notorious?) Wizard Kabob ending. In fact, some people believe that Wizard Kabob is a prank that Peter Jackson played on people attempting to spy on the production.<\/p>\n
But is it the *one*? Even that, Chris doesn’t know. He says it’s “not necessarily correct”. Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean it’s wrong and it doesn’t mean it’s right either. I guess we’ll have to keep that in mind as we wait to find out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
