from Weta<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Hey Weta fans,
\n10 years since filming began on The Lord Of The Rings<\/em>! How do we celebrate that?<\/p>\n

Listen to the Anniversary Podcast!<\/a>
\nDaniel Falconer has recorded a very special podcast episode, walking around the workshop, asking the crew who were here back then to share some of their stories and memories. It’s a truly fantastic walk through the workshop, where you meet Richard Taylor, Gino Acevedo, Gareth McGhie, Matt Appleton, Emily-Jane Sturrock and MANY others!<\/p>\n

As Daniel mentions in the interviews, we’re releasing a new product to commemorate the 10th anniversary — the Red Eye of Sauron<\/a> — a pin that has a history very much tied in with Weta’s role in the Lord Of The Rings<\/em>. Designed by John Howe and adorning Weta’s crew gear, it became the symbol of Weta staff on-set and whenever anyone needed a Weta technician, they would just look for the Red Eye. Now you too can feel like part of the Weta crew!<\/p>\n

And don’t forget all the other products we have released recently as we return to Middle-earth, like the Argonath<\/a>, the Master Swordsmith’s Collection<\/a>, the Gandalf cloak<\/a>, the Miniature shields<\/a>, the life size Gollum bronze statue<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
