Day: November 23, 2000

Well, a slow news day coincides with an email drawing our attention to another fantasy film being shot in NZ – seems there’s more than one sorcerous epic haunting our backwoods. More modest than the Rings, in fact it’s closer to the scale of the Ancanar project in California, but after checking out their website I’ve got hopes for it.

This looks like dedicated, honest filmmaking based on a story that would interest a lot of us fantasy buffs.

If you want to check out more about this little indie film, their stylish website tells you more. Song of the Hunted

(Some of the backdrops explain to me why people kept phoning me to say the ‘Rings’ was being shot within half an hour of my place. I wish!)

What’s it to be, folks? We know it was Isengard a few months ago, when the infamous Wizard Kebab photo was taken. Many walls and arches later, it seems to have become Minas Tirith, as you see here – Taita and Wingate have been confused – I think they’re the same place. Now what is it? Here’s the description. TORNie fan Kevin was the first to speculate:

“I bet the new set at Wingate is the Healer’s Quarters garden at Minis Tirith. I think the hole in the ground is a well of some kind in a garden with gravel paths.”
