PJ will probably choose to kill him off, but almost certainly not in film 1

He could provide a more subtle reason as to why the Wizard wasn't in LOTR, but PJ ain't subtle, now is he? In order to spell out to a general audience why Raddy is not in LOTR, I'm pretty certain that Radagast will die in the second or possibly third film. Either that or become the moth. Now, if he dies it's unlikely to be in film 3, as (spoilers) the main death in film 3 will be Thorin's, as well as the side deaths of Fili and Kili. Having Rad die as well would detract from the emotion of these other deaths. If however he was killed in film 1 we wouldn't be very upset as we would barely know the guy. Therefore, if he's to die then it must surely be in film 2, perhaps he is killed in the Battle of Dol Guldur, giving Gandalf a larger motive than ever to succeed in his mission of bringing about Sauron's fall. I'm also on the same wavelength as the author of the essay posted a few days ago (i.e. Raddy could be secretly dealt with by agents of Saruman, with his death symbolizing the beginning of darker times and the end of innocence).
"Radagast is, of course, a worthy wizard, a master of shapes and changes of hue, and he has much lore of herbs and beasts, and birds are especially his friends."-Gandalf, The Lord of the Rings.

I don't see why Saruman's betrayal should be a surprise in FOTR...

On the Saruman FOTR point, I don't see that as any great issue.

All we know by now is that Radagast's sled bunnies were cooked by Sam.//
