* An early idea for ''[[The Lord of the Rings (Film)|The Lord of the Rings]]'' grand finale was to [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|show Aragorn battling Sauron]] in the last battle. Sauron (just an [[Faceless Eye|gigantic red eye]] up to this point) would first be seen as a [[wikipedia:Image:Annatar.jpg|tempting angelic bishonen]] (Kate Winslet in cameo) who then transform into the gigantic armored fighter seen in the first movie's prologue. The filmmakers eventually decided that this was silly (and an inconsistency, since they had decided that Sauron wasn't supposed to be powerful and capable of fighting without his ring) and replaced the armored Sauron with a troll. |

** There was a captivating piece of concept art for the "[[Bishonen Line|pretty-boy]]" Sauron: an angelic albino possessing an otherwordly beauty...[[Red Right Hand|except for his eyes, fiery red-on-black, exactly like the flaming eye of his other form]]. [[Glamour Failure|Furthermore, a close look at his face reveals that the flesh around his eyes has subtly began to crack like plaster...]] |

*** This is because Sauron is a Maia (angel), sort of like Gandalf. The beautiful side was his original form and he used it to corrupt Aragorn's ancestors. Eru Ilúvatar destroyed Numenor and Sauron lost his body. He recovered, but could never regain his beautiful form and had come up with a badass one instead. Thus the above scenario would have violated canon, but that probably wouldn't have bothered the film makers since they had already swapped Sauron's physical book-form for a giant red eyeball. |
