I really don't think it's a good idea to leave the audience guessing. Either: #1-The movie-goers will be wondering where in all this mess Saruman is & what he's up to (I know I would if I hadn't read the books). -or- #2-PJ will allude to Saruman's death (likely), which will make people want to see it, & wonder how it happened. I still don't see an un-lame way that PJ can get the Palantir into the hands or Gandalf, Aragorn, Pippin, & co. without it coming out strangly. He can get it done, but I wonder if he will...I just think there was probably an oppurtunity to stick it into RotK, not to early but not to late.
