Scoop Images: And Not A Hobbit Was Stirring
The following pictures show the inside of the set for the town of Bree from the Lord of The Rings Trilogy which began shooting in New Zealand yesterday under the direction of Peter Jackson.
Bree is under construction in a former army barracks in the Wellington suburb of Seatoun.
The photos were provided to Scoop by an anonymous source who wishes to remain incognito.
The set appears to be constructed around what appears to be a town square this features a statuesque plinth of sorts at its centre surrounded by Tudor houses jutting out over the square. Images follow….
