Ah... very good news. But now I think that it would be quite difficult to build up to a great climactic battle without the presence of Sauron. The book manages very well, especially with the command of Gandalf that halts everyone in their tracks, but I wonder if PJ and the writers will be able to compete with that? I don't doubt that the Sammath Naur will be a great scene, but on its own I don't think it would be enough of a climax to what has been a very long build-up to the final battle.
