Really?--that's bad news :-( I had heard that some of Christopher Lee's scenes were filmed and would be included and I was really looking forward to it. If they're not going to be in it I'm really bummed :-(

The main reason it wasn't included is that it would seem too anticlimactic... after the big battle of Helm's Deep, and the big battle of Pellennor Fields, and the destruction of the ring, to come home and have a minor skirmish with hobbits and ruffians would be just too much. But there will be more Christopher Lee in the EE.

Good night!
