Well and now that the Journey has ended (LOTR yesterday, guess who was there..) and we have had 3 years of enjoying the landscapes of New Zealand.... well, you will see more of it, because... Another major fantasy film production is on its way to New Zealand, and again it will be directed by a local. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, based on the popular book of the same name, will be made in New Zealand, Industry Development Minister Jim Anderton confirmed in a statement today. The film will be directed by Andrew Adamson, a New Zealander best known as the co-director of the Oscar-winning computer-animated feature Shrek. The movie is expected to start preparations, including obtaining stage space and personnel, in Auckland early in 2004. All of you who missed acting as extra and dressing up like orcs for LOTR, let's go and pack our suitcases, now it's your opportunity to get an extra job as centaur in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
