Teleri the newest Super Ringer Spy, just sent me the following concerning filming at Harcourt Park in Upper Hutt
If you have not been on a film set before they are a wonder to behold. The grounds are full of cranes holding lighting rigs, sound gear, Marquees for the staff/actors to be fed in, Portable ablution blocks, Caravans/mobile homes for accomodation and offices. Camera rigs and scenery. The scenery has been prepared over the last few weeks.
Forests have been built and the grounds altered. There is even a large satelite dish set up for various
communications. The weather here today is not the best it rained hard all night, the winds came this morning and the clouds are still on 100% cover. A little sunshine came around midday but not enough to dry the land.
I understand that filming will haopen during tonight but cannot confirm that as yet. Also I do not know the scene being shot but will find out even if its after it happens.
Teleri
It all sounds incredibly exciting to me!! Woo Hoo!!

i may have some interesting news for lord of the rings fans.
i live about 5 mins away from Harcourt Park where last night there were rehursing a scene. The basic plot was that about 3 or 4 dozen people (possibly hobbits or dwarfs) were pulling down two trees while at the same time there was some fighting going on. This was done at night with many spotlights and a very overcast sky, smoke machicnes and fires also added to the atmosphere.
Any ideas as to what they could be filming? Remember Ian Mckellen is not there…

The cool dudes over at CHUD have their latest installment of ‘Why LOTR will rock’. This time they discuss New Media. Check it out 🙂
Everybody knows there’ll be toys, video games, magazines, and websites tying in to the trilogy, but there are other far reachings formats and shapes to this universe which will grab folks from all walks of life and make us film buffs spend ALL our green. For example:
You know those STAR WARS INSIDER GUIDE CD-ROMS we all loved? Expect a very similar one for LOTR. The difference being the fact the Tolkien’s series has a much more lengthy bit of history and lineage. There’s DECADES and DECADES of essays, artwork, and other goodies on the subject and when the fever pitch hits in two summers you’ll see folks NEEDING to bone up in time for the release.
Check out the rest of the article here.
Thanks to the folks at CHUD for the heads up!
