Stunning images of New Zealand http://www.nhc.net.nz/ New Zealand home of "The Lord of the Rings" was the last large landmass to be discovered as seen in the Pure New Zealand video. Resultant of developing in isolation we have thousands of unique species. GB has only two as a comparison. 11% of the world's endangered species are from New Zealand. Weta are nocturnal and live in a variety of habitats including grassland, shrub land, forests, and caves. They excavate holes under stones, rotting logs, or in trees and sometimes occupy pre-formed burrows. Many of the giant species now only survive on protected land and many are endangered. The Giant Weta is the heaviest insect on earth reliably weighed at 72g. The Mahoenui giant weta, long considered extinct on the mainland, was rediscovered in a patch of King Country gorse in 1962. Department of Conservation staff have established a new population of these on Mahurangi Island, off the Coromandel coast. Two hundred have been transferred there and after four years they are showing signs of breeding. Weta are mainly herbivorous in the wild, but are also known to eat insects. There are more than 70 species of weta in New Zealand, 16 of which are at risk. They are one of the oldest species with fossils dating back to the Triassic period. Music is by New Zealand artists Pitch Black who produce for sony playstation and Miami CSI.

I know this interview is a couple of years old, but I thought it might be nice to add to Youtube. From what I have read on different forums the movie is supposed to have a budget on 120 million dollars. Currently they are at the stage of choosing a director.
