We posted this video back in November, but it certainly deserves a replay. Our friends at TreeTopMedia have produced a stunning video showcasing New Zealand’s amazing landscapes. This was initially done to impress upon the world how important it was for The Hobbit to remain in New Zealand. However during the middle of the shoot the good word came down that The Hobbit was indeed staying in NZ, so the video morphed into a loving tribute to New Zealand. Take a look, and keep an eye out on more exclusive content from TreeTopMedia and TheOneRing.net in New Zealand!
J.W. Braun is back with another book review, this time he’s reviewing Sean Astin’s autobiography ‘There and Back Again: An Actor’s Tale’. Be sure to bookmark TORN’s updated YouTube channel lovingly called ‘TORN TV‘.
