\"\"<\/a>John Farrell’s blog on Forbes<\/a> has\u00a0a delightful new video interview with Sir Christopher Lee, the first of a series planned over the next few weeks.\u00a0 His initial\u00a0interview included a discussion on new media and Lee’s\u00a0early entrance into hosting a website\u00a0with help from his son-in-law.<\/p>\n

What caught my eye was an\u00a0initial statement by Farrell on\u00a0his blog.\u00a0 He mentioned that Lee was\u00a0“getting ready to reprise his role as Saruman in Peter Jackson\u2019s two-part production of The Hobbit”.<\/em><\/p>\n

While there\u00a0is nothing on the\u00a0video discussing The Hobbit\u00a0<\/em>nor is the statement itself\u00a0a confirmation, the fact\u00a0that Farrell recently spoke with Lee and chose this particular phrasing of words (without hedging)\u00a0suggests this was part of their\u00a0conversation and that\u00a0Lee directly stated this.\u00a0 It could be a case of\u00a0an over-zealous Tolkien fan\u00a0reading too much into that statement but TORN followers may\u00a0want to scour any future videos for tidbits of information.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Is this a backwards confirmation that\u00a0Sir Christopher Lee will return as Saruman?\u00a0\u00a0 Talk about it on our message boards here<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
