How will Sauron be portrayed?
Since it is one of the most well-guarded secrets on The Lord of the Rings production, Jackson and crew have not released any definite details about the portrayal of Sauron, only stating that the character will take on a more active role in order to give the audience a tangible villain. It s a very safe bet that he will actually appear onscreen with the aid of visual effects, and that Jackson s design team will have cooked up a memorable and truly frightening villain for us to enjoy. Recent information has confirmed that Sauron will be portrayed by a human actor in the flashbacks to the Last Alliance, and a glimpse of the character design from these scenes can be spotted in the first Fellowship of the Ring trailer.
