THE SEARCH IS ON FOR LOCATIONS FOR PETER JACKSON’S NEXT MOVIE EPIC, THE HOBBIT.
Hollywood director Guillermo del Toro has arrived back in New Zealand, and will spend the next few weeks in the air scouting for Hobbit-like locations.
“So far we’ve only scouted Matamata and Wellington but we’ve seen photographs,” del Toro said.
“In the next couple of weeks I will be on board a helicopter scouting for more locations, which for a man my size is incredibly daring.”
