Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
Much of the news that was imparted in the book version was imparted in other places such as the prologue of the Last Alliance. There is no way that any filmmaker could have sustained audience interest for the length of time it would have taken for all the various talking heads to tell their story and their contributions to the history of the ring had the book been "faithfully" translated to the screen. 25 minutes or more of narrative exposition woud have killed the film dead in its tracks.
