From the Dominion Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The skeleton that remained of the set has been a very popular tourist attraction. We also know that it has since been rebuilt for The Hobbit<\/em> – and that this time it won’t be removed once filming is completed. It’s been designed to last 50 years.<\/p>\n

But what surprises me is that the public can visit the rebuilt set right now before the cameras roll.<\/p>\n

Ian Brodie<\/em>, author of the detailed and very handy Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook<\/em>, is the media and communications manager for the Hobbiton<\/em> movie set.<\/p>\n

He told me that multiple tours continue to visit the set each day. “The only thing they [visitors] have to do is sign a non-disclosure agreement.<\/p>\n

They can take as many photos as they want, they just can’t post them up online or do those sorts of things. Certainly they are seeing it at its best.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
