Why would Christopher Lee be in the Hobbit? Saruman is not a character in that story. Do you mean Ian McKellan?
Personally, I hope the issue is resolved between Peter Jackson and New Line. New Line can't gamble on the loss of audience attendance due to Jackson not being on the project. Plus they have to know that it will be a gold mine when it comes out, especially if the story is broken out into a well detailed trilogy or two parter of some sort. I think execs there really need to wake up and take the hit on the income. I think Peter Jackson has shown what he can do, even in a stinker like King Kong he made boatloads of money.
