New video of Hobbiton re-build!

[Technomage]

On a local TV station here in New Zealand, they did a story on the actor/union/Jackson stouch, and included a fairly lenghty helicopter flyover of Hobbiton as it's now looking after months of re-building.

Even if they do take the movie overseas from New Zealand, it looks like they've spent too much on Hobbiton to just abandon it to start over again.

The video won't run for me, just "loading".

From Bored Of The Rings concerning boggies:

...All boggies originally lived in holes, which is after all hardly surprising for creatures on a first-name basis with rats. In Dildo's time, their abodes were for the most part built above ground in the manner of elves and men, but these still retained many of the features of their traditional homes and were indistinguishable from the dwellings of those species whose chief function is to meet their makers, around August, deep in the walls of old houses. As a rule, they were dumpling-shaped, built of mulch, silt, stray divots, and other seasonal deposits, often whitewashed by irregular pigeons. Consequently, most boggie towns looked as though some very large and untidy creature, perhaps a dragon, had quite recently suffered a series of disappointing bowel movements in the vicinity...
