Since the first screening of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, New Zealand has become the embodiment of Middle-earth to millions of moviegoers the world over. This definitive guidebook showcases the principal movie set locations around New Zealand as seen in all three films.
Ian Brodie has written this larger-format edition of his popular location guidebook to include new information and photographs, extra images from all three films in the trilogy and extended entries from cast and crew. Produced with the full cooperation of New Line Productions, Inc., it enables fans of Peter Jackson's cinematic masterpiece to experience their own unique insight into the magic and complexity of Middle-earth.
Both author Ian Brodie and Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson are keen vintage aircraft enthusiasts and Jackson gave Brodie unlimited access to photographing all aspects of the filming of all three films.
