Ianman contributed this little image of one of the signposts the production company uses to point the way to filming - in this case, round Ruapehu. More later, we hope!
Why is it that such a small sign can make the heart race?

I have a home satellite dish, Direct TV, here in the States. The "All News Network" (ACN Channel 364) ran a spot tonight about the Lord of the Rings movies. It ran stock footage of the Rankin Bass and Bashki material, it also detailed fans' dislike of them. It also showed the Net Teaser Trailer, but it was not from tape. They put it on a desktop and shot the monitor . I guess that is one way to work around a "Net" only preview. All in all it was a decent little piece that addressed the previous attempts by Hollywood, and Jackson's too.
