Middle-earth returns to Kiwi cinemas this week, with the new Sir Peter Jackson-produced animated film The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim opening nationwide on December 12.
After the New Zealand premiere on Tuesday, the stars and creators descended on Hobbiton in Matamata where they spoke to Herald entertainment reporter Mitchell Hageman about their thoughts on the famous franchise, and what the future holds for Middle-earth’s treasure trove of untold stories.
Sir Peter Jackson and his Lord of the Rings whānau aren’t anywhere near done with J.R.R. Tolkien’s sprawling fantasy epic just yet.
