If it helps Sir Christopher Lee rest, I didn't even know this scene wasn't in the theatrical release. The extended versions are what live on.

I remember watching the non-extended release of Lord of the Rings, found out there were deleted scenes with Christopher Lee in it, and I was like: "THAT'S RIDICULOUS!"

I did not know that his last night was watching the LotR. It meant so much to him.

What a lovely ending and tribute to Christopher Lee. I still enjoy everything he has done in the horror genre, and continue to rewatch those classics. He really did give it his all in everything he did. Thank you.

Not to mention that is not how Saruman dies in the books. It’s all the way at the end of The Return of the King and the ending is completely different than in the movies. There is so much more that happens that they couldn’t fit into the movie.

I'm glad I grew up and tell everyone I know to watch the extended cuts. Sir Christopher Lee is such an incredible actor, his acting and the stories I've heard of his life have only made me love him more and more.
