El Senyor dels anells i Nova Zelanda

De moment encara som a la ciutat comptal, ultimant les compres i acabant de perfilar el dossier amb tota la informació.

Com a deures familiars estem remirant la versió estesa del Senyor dels anells per si quan som allà al final visitem algun dels espais de rodatge.

De moment és probable que visitem Mordor i la Comarca, la resta ja el temps, el clima i les ganes diran...

Si algú està interessat en conèixer les localitzacions on es van filmar les escenes de la pel·lícula us pot interessar aquest mapa.

Si per altra banda voleu una cosa més detallada (amb coordenades) us interessarà veure la web del Department Of Conservation (DOC) que basant-se amb el llibre de l'Ian Brodie The Lord of the Rings Location Guide Extended Edition (HarperCollins, ISBN 1-86950-530-1) han creat un petit recull molt interessant.
