Review: `If I ever had any doubts about finding new locations for three more movies, they disappeared as soon as we began looking. New Zealand’s infinite capacity for surprise didn’t let us down … As you will see, as you read the accounts of those involved, we faced our own challenges – not exactly fire-breathing dragons, but wild weather can be every bit as challenging.’ Peter Jackson
