Lord of the Rings returns to New Zealand with Amazon TV show
New Zealand is poised for another Middle-earth-tied economic boost after Amazon Studios picked the country as the location for its much-anticipated Lord of the Rings television series.
The show is widely tipped to be the most expensive ever made, at a cost of at least $1bn (£801m).
The Amazon unit wants to tap the huge success of the Lord of the Rings film trilogy, also shot in New Zealand.
