Lord of the ring movie have a lot of fans all over the world so they invite some of the fans to visit the real pace where they made they movie. If you were the fans, what is the first thing that you want to do when you arrive in that place, new zealand?

Honestly... I would like to goto the hotel to drop off my things and then maybe to the bar for a drink. I would like to go to the village that was in the second one, not sure where abouts that was filmed over there but was a good scene

Don't you want to see the elves. The view is very beautiful the movie, I wonder where and how do they find it. Good job for them

Yes, I would choose New Zealand also. From the movie, we can see very nice scenery with valley and hills. It is a haven there. If I have chance I want to visit there.

Personally I don't give a hoot to the Lord of Rings trilogy - but I do love New Zealand. Was there in both the North and South Island about 8 years ago and fell in love with the kiwi scenery.

I though lord of the rings was kind of cheezy but alot of people seem to like it!

If that's the case, I'd like to see where Gollum is created. You know inside the studio itself. But I also like to go to New Zealand to see for myself the real place.

I think it was created in new zealand, but the movie was announced that a seqaul will not be made, but before the said there would be.

New Zealand was chosen to be the setting simply because the cost of production is much lower than elsewhere. It got nothing to do with Tolkien's middle earth. The movie was probably the best tourism campaign for the rather remote country known as New Zealand but it is really a beautiful country!

Oh, It must have been cheaper then the US everything is.

Yes production costs in NZ compared to Hollywood cost about half and director Peter Jackson had the foresight to shoot all the scenes involving humans for the 3-parter in one go and saving more in production costs as a result.
