The production company is based here in Wellington, not far from where I
work. I've had to fend off many of their talent scouts looking to secure my
services as one of the lead actors. I'm not sure I want to be involved, but
if it'll mean getting a LEGO minifig made in my likeness (should TLG "jump
into bed" with LOTR) then maybe I will.
Seriously though, while walking down the street t's great to bump into the
likes of Sean Connery, Robert De Niro and Catherine Zeta Jones all of whom
are in Wellington looking for a part in the trilogy.
Really seriously though, how many of the worlds population actually know
where New Zealand is? ;)
