Even though Saruman's demise appears in the Extended Edition DVD of this movie, Sir Christopher Lee was "not amused" that his character was cut from the theatrical release. In an interview done after the release of the Extended Edition DVD, he acknowledged that the makers gave him several arguments for trimming the scene (pacing and time constraints), but in his opinion, none of them justified omitting such an important narrative element. As a result, Lee and Sir Peter Jackson had a brief falling out. Lee eventually agreed to appear in Lo Hobbit - Un viaggio inaspettato (2012), and asked Jackson if his scenes had been cut when he was invited to the premiere.
