It's not as if the British Isles doesn't have good outdoor filming locations that look Middle-earthish either. Tolkien wasn't a Kiwi.

The U.K is doing very well for TV/Film production. I read the other day that our studios are booked out for years. TV production is ramping up due to all the steaming companies and it's a perfect storm for us in that we have competitive tax breaks, are English speaking and have a large pool of existing trained production staff due to the amount of domestic television and films we've produced over decades.
