The Voice of Saruman | Saruman's Death | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (Extended) 4K

This is The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition scene from The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, showing the fate of Saruman and Saruman’s Death at Orthanc. In this version, Gandalf and Saruman face each other one final time as Gandalf, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Théoden confront Saruman after the fall of Isengard. The confrontation, often referred to as The Voice of Saruman scene (from the chapter title in the book), ends with Saruman’s Death at the hands of Gríma Wormtongue, bringing closure to his downfall. The sequence, known among fans as The Voice of Saruman, was originally filmed for the theatrical release of The Return of the King but was ultimately removed to improve pacing. Director Peter Jackson later restored it in The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition to complete Saruman’s arc and the tense relationship between Gandalf and Saruman. Christopher Lee, who portrayed Saruman, expressed surprise about the scene’s omission from the original release, noting its importance in portraying The Voice of Saruman and providing a full resolution to the story.
