Here’s some information that might be of interest to you people. Liv Tyler and Sean Bean, both staying in the same hotel at a cost of $500 (New Zealand dollars) per night, booked in for a month. That’s just under $30,000 (or around $14,000 US) for accomodation costs only. Add living costs……and you get a good picture of how well New Line and Peter Jackson look after their actors and actresses.
Another example would be the story of one of the members of the crew, who have their own penthouse, which has a jacuzzi, and they get their own “wardrobe allowance”, “drinks allowance” etc etc…..very nice employment perks indeed.
Thanks to Blade for the tip!
Xoanon’s correspondent is right, some of the backdrops to pictures on the official website look to be taken around Canterbury, New Zealand, as are some of the pictures in our ‘Speculative Locations’.The area is as he describes, a region of broad plains and great rivers bordered by the mighty Southern Alps. Quite unlike Canterbury, England; I don’t think cathedrals will be a large feature of the film. So, UK fans, sorry.
A recent click through over at IMDB, (The Internet Movie Database) a truly awesome site. Shows that not all filming will be taking place in New Zealand! They list Canterbury, Kent, England, UK as the filming site for Edoras, capital city of the Horsemen of Rohan. While I’ve never known IMDB to be false, this baffles me, because this is something I haven’t heard before…very interesting.
So I place a few calls and recieved this from the locals.
‘I heard they’re filming near the catherdral’
More info coming soon. All you UK Ringers! Time for some action!
Just recieved this:
I think they have made a mistake. The Canterbury that will be used for LOTR is Canterbury, a province of New Zealand. It has flat plains, mighty rivers, wooded forests, and the Southern Alps. A number of the shots on the official website look like they have used backgrounds of Canterbury places. hope that helps.
Could IMDB have gotten it wrong?
Thanks to James P for the tip!
Yes, as it turns out they are NOT filming in the UK, but Canterbury NZ. In the south Island, there we go 🙂
Alot of folks have been sending me info on Craig Parker, saying he was on TV in New Zealand, talking aobut his role in LOTR. What role would that be? Some are saying Gildor, who knows, however I am working on it. In the meanwhile, here’s a few pics.
Thanks to: Brian@CHUD, Rohanextra – 197 and Pypesmoke for the pics!
