A Hobbit-themed sculpture is being unveiled on top of the Embassy Theatre today, as Middle- earth fever sweeps Wellington less than a fortnight out from the world premiere of Sir Peter Jackson’s new epic.
Workers have this morning been craning the huge installation pieces into place – including a Gandalf sculpture and what appears to be the front of a Hobbit house – since about 8am this morning.
Embassy duty manager Charlotte Weston said the installation was progressing well.
“It’s just taking a bit to get it up there.”
As you’ll know by now, Neil Finn provides the end credits ballad for the upcoming The Hobbit movie. Rolling Stone has the first chance for you to listen to the whole song, which is called ‘Song of the Lonely Mountain’. As well as a link to hear the song, the short article has a few words from Finn about creating a suitable piece – including the fact that, ‘Pop music needs more anvil!’ The dwarves would surely approve.
Thanks to a facebook supporter for letting us know about this!
