The Lord of the Rings New Zealand Connection Explained
Jackson, who was born in New Zealand, created Middle-earth in The Lord of the Rings entirely in his country of origin. The three films were shot consecutively in various parts of New Zealand, using the country’s dramatic landscape to capture the warm atmosphere of the Shire, the dramatic plains of Rohan and the eerie rocky terrain of Mordor. Not only did Jackson use New Zealand as the backdrop for the epic fantasy adventure, but he also used local crew members to create sets like Hobbiton and Rivendell, props like thousands of weapons and armor sets and visual effects sequences.
Whereas The Lord of the Rings the films remain among the most beloved fantasy projects ever to hit the screen, Jackson’s follow-up trip to Middle-earth proved far more controversial. The first installment in The Hobbit trilogy came out in 2012, serving as a prequel explaining how Bilbo (Martin Freeman) came across the One Ring. The first film, in particular, brought Hobbiton and the Shire to life, much like in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ringeven using the same New Zealand set, but Jackson’s new trilogy has also been more heavily criticized for featuring an overabundance of CGI.
Even though Prime Video’s fantastic new show, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, has little in common with either of the Jackson trilogies, season 1 was also filmed in New Zealand. Jackson is unlikely to return to the world of Middle-earth, but the filmmaker take charge The Lord of the Rings is still considered the epitome of fantasy storytelling to this day. While only a handful of lucky guests will be able to experience the Hobbiton Airbnb, it will undoubtedly be a truly unique and immersive experience.
