but this is more like what, say, Jackson does with Smaug: he's in 20 minutes of a 9-hour trilogy. That helps keep his appearances special.
What I'm talking about is more like how you don't see Jesus' face in Ben Hur, or how Kubrick decided not to show the "transcendental" aliens in 2001: A Space Odyssey: Stuff that's just inherently undepictable.
Sauron, I would argue, falls into the latter category. Seeing a figure in armour is one thing but, says Jackson, "the minute you try to put your finger on a look or a definitive 'This is who this is' it's going to disappoint you."
