I'm really curious how that Saruman-Sauron moment will be handled. I would bet good money that they're going to set up Saruman's later betrayal in some fashion. The most interesting part of PJ's Hobbit is the attempts to connect The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings, since the book doesn't have these elements since it was originally intended as a stand-alone when it was written and there was no Lord of the Rings.

I am too, but I hope they will make it an epic fight though. We're already forced to see Saruman perish soon enough in our own card game.

Yeah, good catch there Raven! He does that quite some scenes indeed.
