    In a major blow to New Zealand's small but vibrant screen industry, Amazon Studios says it is moving the filming of its original series “The Lord of the Rings,” inspired by the books of J.R.R. Tolkien, to Britain. By @nickgbperry.http://apne.ws/5CVF9YR

        This, doesn't bode well for the quality of the 1st season.. I'm not all that concerned there will even be a 2nd.

        as it turns out in the age of covid when you don't know if you'll be able to travel into and out of a country freely, that does tend to have a chilling effect on what sort of talent you can get to act in your production

        Didn't New Zealand JUST lockdown until January 2022, until further notice? Seems that would put a dent in future filming from an American company with employees traveling from all over the world. Film it in Scotland and the mountains, and it'll be fine.

        No big loss. We still have around 30 productions shooting here that now have access to the best crews and facilities.

        Replying to @DallasBarnett3 @AP and

        Plus, as with other monster productions that have wrapped here, it's cheaper to offsell all the tech and buy the latest next season than to ship it back across the ocean. We'll probably get some slick gear for the rental houses so the Indies can benefit.

        Turns out imposing zero-covid insanity isn't a great idea after all. They went "all-in" on a magic vaccine, and rolled snake eyes. Pride. Vanity. Insanity.
