Is Sauron in the void?
Melkor/Morgoth, Sauron’s boss, was banished to the Void, and many of his servants have been banished there as well. It is a place of tormented souls of the dead, the Middle-earth version of Hell. So perhaps that’s the reason the movie makers put those words in Sauron’s mouth, as he threatened Frodo.
