Wellington has been revealed as the production hub for the two newly announced Lord of the Rings films.
The first one, The Hunt for Gollum, is in the early stages of development for a 2026 release, with Andy Serkis returning in both a starring and directing role.
Screen Wellington's Head of Attraction Mark Westerby says this will offer lots of employment opportunities.
"It's what we do best - making swords and armour and using our beautiful locations and the crafts of our skilled filmmakers, which is awesome."
