This is rather shocking news. I certainly hope it won't have any effect on The Hobbit, if and when that film is made. That's one of the biggest things I'm looking forward to: One more Howard Shore Middle-earth score!
As for the Chris Lee thing, I doubt that was a personal falling-out. PJ's defense of the removal of Voice of Saruman from ROTK is, IMHO, more than adequate. Much as I love that scene, and as glad as I am that it was returned for the EE, it slows down the film and distracts from the overall plot. That's all we need, more distractions!
And of course they left his name and picture out of the theatre credits! What do you expect? You don't put that a dude starred in a movie he doesn't appear in. I mean, sure it's Chris Lee, and sure he's Saruman, and sure he's a phenomenal actor who does an awesome job, but still.
Anyways, the Lee thing aside, this Howard Shore news has me seriously worried. There's no way to tell from the story whether PJ is telling the truth, or whether he and Shore did in fact have a falling out. If they did, it may well be to the detriment of Middle-earth.
