Lights, Camera, Action ... Send In the Hobbits
Neil Melloy

Cast and crew from The Lord of the Rings get filming under way at Breaker Bay Beach, near Wellington. Intrigued bystanders were left guessing which part of the J.R. Tolkein saga the filming was dealing with. The actors were not hobbits, one onlooker said. "But they don' t look like elves ... no pointed ears." No-one would say what part of the saga was being filmed.
