Message: [QUOTE="wayneg, post: 233297, member: 24675"] There has been a huge amount og hype surrounding the trilogy for us, as Peter Jackson comes from Wellington, and some of it was filmed around Wellington. The whole city became 'middle earth' for the week of the premier. With many business's changing their names to 'middle earth' as a bit of a joke. Our local newspaper became the 'middle earth post' for instance. I did ride my bike up one of the stair cases to one of the castles somewhere in the series. Its not in the first movie, so I'll have to wait a year or two to see which one it is. It was a pretty scary staircase anyway, and I'm lucky not to have fallen down the damned thing! It is really weird to see different parts of the country casted as different parts of the story, but I guess its something that you guys from the States are pretty used to by now!! [/QUOTE]
