Channel 1 news here in New Zealand at 6pm tonight featured a report on the filming. They showed shots of the Harcourt Park set, with a close up of the fake tree that was created, with a good shot of the leaves. Then it switched to an interview with Rick Poras, associate producer. With a stand-out American accent, he basically said that he hoped that the tree looked as good on the film as it did in real life.<\/p>\n
Next shots showed an interview with small time company owner of the cranes that were hired to hold the lighting for the filming, and then switched to show a Real Estate agent talking about how the film had helped the industry.<\/p>\n
Final shots had an interview with the owner\/manager of the Chocolate Fish cafe, which is a favourite with Peter Jackson. She basically said that she over-heard Elijah Wood say to Liv Tyler “you don’t need to wear sun-glasses or turn up your collar here, no one recognises you!”<\/p>\n
The report ended saying that the film crew would be moving down to Queenstown, in the South Island, next week.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately TVONE hasn’t posted this story in their web page, but they might do it over the coming days.
