The Necromancer
What are your expectations for this character in the upcoming Hobbit film?
Due to the absurd depiction of Sauron in Jackson's previous films, I am expecting great things from the culminating scene where the White Council chases the Necromancer out of Mirkwood. Basically, anything less than that giant flaming eyeball bobbing away (preferably being chased by Gandalf wielding a pitchfork) will be considered a disappointment. They can't just have it disappear in yet another collapsing tower, can they?

Anything as long as it includes a lot of talking on the Necromancer's side, Benedict Cumberbatch has one of the top three voices in the world (in my humble opinion). In fact, I think the whole story should be told from either the Necromancer's or Smaug's point of view, having him narrate all of it.

This story might prove interesting.

I do think it will involve heavy amounts of special effects as Cumberbatch and Chris Lee have already been filming and I think this was done in the UK, not in New Zealand, as Sir Chris Lee (not to forget his deserved title!) is now a very old chap (he is 90 in May) and I think flying all that way is probably out of the question. I have to confess I'm really looking forwards to this purely because I'll get to enjoy him as Saruman again.

See, the Necromancer is Saruman, or at least the dark spirit that inhabits him.
No, I'm Saruman, and so is my wife.
