Unit 2a Goes back to Wellington on Monday 13th Nov. Saw Dominic Monaghan (Merry) wandering around town the other day.<\/i><\/p>\nRinger Spy John Doe<\/b> gives us a nice update on the shooting schedule for LOTR. Apparently he sends word that principal photography may end on December 22.<\/p>\n
That is what I have been told. They were all scheduled to go thru till Dec 22nd I think, but now have lots of post work shooting that won’t fit in the current schedule. Will probably be only Unit 1b that may be filming past Dec 22 from what I was told. I heard a rumor of this about 3 weeks ago, and 2 others have discussed it with me and they have heard from their supervisors that this may be the case.<\/p>\n
Also I’ve been told that unit 1b can’t film north of Wellington as there are budget restrictions and 3foot6 won’t pay accommodation for 3 nights for the whole unit.<\/p>\n
Unit 1b is currently filming around Wellington in various locations. <\/p>\n
In Kaitoke, Poets Corner and the studios. These have all been night shoots. They have some amazing props including a couple of large full size elephants which I would guess to be used as Mammoths or something.<\/p>\n
Another set I’ve visited recently was a large forest in a warehouse. The trees are being made from parts of other trees. I.E. they are being pieced together. Also they had one tree that was built on Mechanical Arms.<\/p>\n
