New Edition.
To millions of moviegoers and Tolkien fans the world over, New Zealand is now the embodiment of Middle-earth.
This definitive guidebook to movie locations used in the making of 'The Lord Of The Rings' trilogy has arisen from the personal enthusiasm of Ian Brodie, a devoted Tolkien fan, and who has a special link with director Peter Jackson. Ian and Peter are mad keen vintage aircraft enthusiasts. Ian is also closely linked to many of the South Island aviation companies which provided air support for the mammoth movie production, and has written a guidebook for the army of fans, both national and international, who are interested in seeing for themselves where the movies were filmed.
Coinciding with the release of 'The Two Towers', the original 'Location Guidebook' was a best-seller. However, due to rigid protection of images and details of the third and final movie, 'The Return Of The King', these were not able to be included. Now that the final film in the trilogy is being released, the information has been included. In this new edition of the 'Location Guidebook', Ian Brodie is finally able to complete his comprehensive review of the movie locations.
While all the traditional guidebook elements are included - maps, road directions, accommodation and dining suggestions, plus other local sights - the book also skillfully weaves in strands of local history and Maori mythology, with Elvish names, story references and behind-the-scenes glimpses from cast and crew, making this a must-have guidebook to Middle-earth (Aotearoa).
The new edition includes additional location information, new interviews with key cast and crew, including an exclusive interview with Peter Jackson and a new foreword by Viggo Mortenson. Ian has added new photographs and additional movie images from the third movie, along with the touring information, GPS references and local directions which helped make the first edition of the 'Location Guidebook' such a success.
