Animated "Lord of the Rings" film to feature Christopher Lee's voice as Saruman, utilizing archival recordings.

The animated film "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" will feature the voice of the late Christopher Lee as Saruman, utilizing archival recordings from "The Hobbit." Producer Philippa Boyens confirmed this at New York Comic Con, noting that permission was obtained from Lee's widow. Set centuries before "The Lord of the Rings," the film follows Helm Hammerhand defending Rohan against invaders, with Saruman's role likely being a cameo rather than antagonistic.
