Daniel Reeve's Wellywood Map

News from Bree spymaster@theonering.net Apr 8 2011, 5:31am Views: 1627 Daniel Reeve's Wellywood Map Been to Wellington? Couldn't get that perfect memento of your visit? Daniel Reeve has filled a gap spotted by local tour company Rover Tours and Jack of the Noldor Blog, and created a Tolkien-inspired map of Wellington's film sites. It's in that authentic quill-pen, parchment style Reeve does so well. You can have fun translating the Reeves' runes into real place names. No doubt there'll be a mountain of Tolkien-themed goodies available when The Hobbit comes out, but in the meantime, there are a few of these available to buy right now.

NZNoldor The Shire Apr 9 2011, 8:33am Views: 509 Enjoy the map! I'm glad you all like the map - I had a great time with this project! We also give them to people who come on our halfday and fullday LOTR tours. They are possibly the only actual Wellywood souvenirs out there, which sounds weird. Wellington isn't so good at blowing its own trumpet, and we have almost no actual proof that we made any movies here. There is nothing "Wellington" for sale at the Weta Cave, for instance. Strange but true. - Jack -- Jack M, The Noldor Blog. Follow me on Twitter or on Facebook. ==================================

grammaboodawg Immortal Apr 9 2011, 9:36am Views: 513 It's Gorgeous!! And I really like the size. It's just right for slipping in with the other Reeve maps and makes a great pattern on the wall :D I can't believe you've found a niche when it comes to Wellington/LotR collectibles ;) I just saw the t-shirts you have!!! That'll be my next treasure ;) Thanks so much for this! The tour I went on was such a huge part of my visit to Wellington, and this is something tangible I can look up and have right close by that reminds me of that magical time :) LOVE YOUR BLOG, too! *bows deeply* Thanks for all you do to keep us close to the action!

And glad you found the shirt - I've not really mentioned it to anyone or anything, perhaps it's time I started doing that again! - Jack -- Jack M, The Noldor Blog.
