have not only endorsed and proven their faith in NZ, but they've gone a step further with this:
"The Government and Warners Brothers have agreed to work together in a long-term strategic partnership to market New Zealand as a place to make movies."
I think WB is proving to be a company with a heart and arent' afraid to be more than a place that just does the business... they're completely boggling me in all of this. I'm so impressed.
 
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

One Ring to rule them all,
one Ring to find them,
one Ring to bring them all,
and in darkness bind them!

Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded b*****d with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.

New Zealand is as close to Middle-earth as you can get.
At night you can not tell if crows are black or white.

We were rooting for NZ as the country to house the Hobbit.. so they can get the 500 million... But the whole world-economy has probably lost about 500 million with people not working and refreshing TORn..  and drinking punch, cider and beer

Up to the last minute I was really worried but in the end we got the best result we could have hoped for.
Well done to all sides who worked to get the situation back to where it should be.
Now let's hear Ian McKellen confirmed as Gandalf and I'll be even more pleased!

You'll get some!
Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day
To seek the pale enchanted gold.

You could be right, you know, though it might not be full 500 millions - yet But don't forget the beverage industry! They must have made a nice penny with all we have been consuming
I do not suffer from LotR obsession - I enjoy every minute of it.

Just to think that a month ago we didn't have green light, we didn't know whether PJ was going to direct or Freeman be able to fit it in his schedule or where it would be filmed. And now we have all the right pieces together and it looks perfect! :) (Well I could grumble on about the 3D and how I fear WB's marketing will look cheap but hey, this is a day for celebration and if I've learned anything during these years as a fan, it's to trust Peter.)

and horror in the halls of stone

and trees and hills they long have known."
