'Lonely men are we, Rangers of the wild, hunters - but hunters ever of the servants of the Enemy; for they are found in many places, not in Mordor only.'
The locations of New Zealand are definitely "other-worldly" to say the least. For such a small country, there seems to be no shortage of preserves and national parks. Pretty cool. All that location shooting's gonna go a long way on screen. Still not enthused about Kili's pompadore hair-do and lack of beard.
