HarperCollins Publishers New Zealand and Weta Workshop sign landmark publishing agreement
In what is a landmark move for both companies, HarperCollins Publishers New Zealand and Weta Workshop have entered into an agreement to publish works which will showcase Weta’s remarkable creativity and talent.
There are major opportunities for both companies in this agreement. The most significant is the global publication of beautifully produced movie tie-in volumes written and designed by Weta’s own creative people, illustrating the amazing skills and talents of the Weta team. Traditionally, the authors of movie tie-in books are several steps removed from the making of the movie, and the books are last minute additions to the movie merchandising plans.

Ron Newcomb dropped us a line to let us know his film ‘The Fellows Hip – Rise of the Gamers’ is almost ready for viewing, and based on this impressive trailer, it looks like a ton of fun!
Ron writes “I believe your fans would enjoy our film, as our customers are very similar in nature. It was written for fans by fans about geeks and those who love them. The Fellows Hip: Rise of the Gamers is a buddy-comedy written in honor of online gamers and The Lord of the Rings. Full of Tolkien-references and good-hearted parody, The Fellows Hip will appeal to Tolkien-fans and gamers alike, as well as anyone who’s never been part of the in-crowd.” Visit www.TheFellowsHipMovie.com
