NZ will be 'huge' part of the US Amazon Lord of the Rings production - reports

A large part of Amazon's proposed Lord of The Rings TV series is to be produced in New Zealand.

Previously, it was claimed that Scotland had won rights to film the show, wresting away the production from New Zealand, the spiritual home of the series.

An anonymous industry insider claimed that confidentiality agreements had been signed with Amazon and the New Zealand Government, and that American crews were already here, NZ Herald said.
