Yeah! Well done.
(Yes, Maram, you hinted at that one too, but never committed  . I'm cruel, aren't I?)
Now, back to the original quiz...
Q1) Where was this clip shot?
Q2) What are the name of the hosts of the closest Bed and Breakfast accommodation? (Hint - we stayed there )

Your answer sounds terribly smart ... hope the MAN gives you the points for this one, Ilistine!

Hmmm.. is this for us to guess what the pic is or did I mis something?
I bet on the Scene with the nazgul, where frodo gets his shoulder wound.
Sheyla, clearly lost and not able to get away from this thing. It`s addictive. Is there a Photo-caption wagerers anonymous? |

|

if so my search on the place came up with this
Locations Twizel to Alexandra via The Great Chase location. Which I guess had some filming in Queenstown for the Ford scene. Nelson (Takaka) and (Golden Bay/Kahurangi) for some of the forest racing scenes.
As for the bed and breakfast, I haven't a clue
here are a few New Zealand lists around Alexandra and Queenstown for the Ford scene:
Constable Cottage & Gaol in Alexandra
Ferry Hotel Guesthouse and
Driftwood in Queensland
This is tough, I don't have my FoTR DVD so all searching was boring search engine related no beautiful music, or movie playing 
So maybe some of these guesses are right, we'll see.
Thanks for the fun! |

It is usually to guess the picture, but I thought the picture would be too easy (just count the number of feet on the horse...) so I made it a little harder by adding some questions around the picture. All for fun - I'll start creating quizzes for you LORTManiacs next.
Ilistine; that's not correct according to the information I have, so it isn't hte answer I was looking for. I know many scenes were filmed in multiple locations, so you may be right. But I made hte question up 
The Ford scene was actually filmed not far away from here, either (if memory serves me right). And by saying Queenstown, you're on the wrong Island!
Let me know if you'd just rather have a stupid picture instead of this quiz...

please post the picture, who and what horse are they? I don't live in New Zealand and my mutiple searches came up with a bunch of different locations. I went to the New Zealand travel guides and looked for the Lord of the Rings tours One said Twizel to Alexandra for the great chase, one said another and then another, confusing! But, since I have no clue where any of these places are, the DVD would probably help more.
Waiting anxiously for the results to the quiz!!
I really want to know the answer to the picture, so I like the guess the picture scenes best, I was never very good in geography. |

| Is it my imagination or does that look nothing like Liv (notice lack of overbite and much more chiselled facial features)? I'm guessing stunt double... and here she was in the interviews all talking about how she had to learn to ride. uh huh. |

Probably is the stunt double. After all, if they've changed the rescuer from Glorfindel to Arwen in the movie version, it seems only within the borders of continuity that it wouldn't be Liv Tyler on the horse, but someone else.

1) The answer is "Waitarere Forest", Near Foxton (source of my information: "The Lord Of The Rings Location Guidebook" by "Ian Brodie", page 27.
"Filming was undertaken in a number of different parts of the park, including Osgiliath Wood, Trollshaw Forest and scenes of Arwen riding throught the trees."
2) There used to be a B&B in Waitarere itslef, but I was informed it has closed down. The closest B&B is Greenacres Bed & Breakfast. I know this as it's such a lovely place to stay, and can easily be recommended.
So the answer to the question "Who are the hosts" are "Dorothy and Derek"
OK, need a new pic - anyone fancy sending me a pic(support@openscrolls.net) and I'll slice and dice. Or send me a clip 269x64 pixels, and you can keep me guessing!
