Heh, I liked watching them when I was in USA on holidays... > Where in NZ, by the way? The filming for Hercules and Xena was done in Auckland. Someone just told me it was just west of Auckland, on the coast. The special effects (physical and digital) were by Weta <http://www.wetafx.co.nz/WetaLtd-Index.html>. The are the same people who worked on The Frightners and Heavenly Creatures. Weta are heavily involved in Lord of The Rings. Peter Jackson is the director and all of the three films were shot in New Zealand. You've seen the LOTR trailer? That's NZ scenery in the background, perhaps digitally enhance, I don't know. At present, they are post production and the first film will be released December 2001. With luck, the premiere will be in Wellington. I hope so. -- Dan Langille pgpkey - finger dan@unixathome.org | http://unixathome.org/finger.php got any work? I'm looking for some.
