25 Little Details Fans Should Know About Lord of the Rings
If you ever felt like New Zealand loved the fact that Lord Of The Rings was filmed in their country, you'd be right. You'd be happy too, if a film production bumped up the countries economy between the filming and the jobs and the tourism. The countries government gave New Line a humongous tax credit to film there.
But rather than send all kinds of Hollywood people to such a remote location to do a lot of the jobs, the cast and crew of nearly 3000 were mostly made up of Kiwis - and that's not accounting for the all of the outside businesses used by the cast and crew to help with the production.
