It’s all getting a bit silly isn’t it? Is this movie really worth going to jail over?

Peter Jackson and Co. are having to truck in strips of tussock grass as the river beds around the set don’t have enough grass cover for shooting. The tussock is coming from the A&P showgrounds in Christchurch where it is being dug up and cut by hand. It is being sold to movie producers at a 1300% markup!!!!!!
Also, there aren’t many free holiday house left empty at Lake Clearwater. The movie producers are paying up to $40 per person per room per night to rent them out. One happy home-owner has rented his humble abode out for $27000 (NZ) for six months!!!
Check out this very cool spy report from Ringer Spy Altariel. [more]
Super Ringer Spy Altariel takes a look at the building of a set in Wingate:
They have started building a new set out at Wingate-just like I said-but it has nothing to do with Rivendell, at lest not as far as I can tell. I got some pic’s of it, its not much built yet but I still love the picture and reackon you should post it on the site because everyone will spend hours pondering over what it might be-I certainly have no idea-nut I can say that up close its obvious that the big spiky wheel is ment to turn because all the cogs and little dohickys that you find on wheels are all there. I think it must be in water, that is what they had on this set the last time they were filming there.
