It’s good to see Disney coming to New Zealand to Film Pete’s Dragon and Fun for Tapanui locals to see what its like having a Hollywood Money hit town
but I have noticed that these big event location shoots of late rarely show off the more attractive places in our country which kind of defeats the tax incentives our Government gives these guys. Off the top of my head I think I can say Tapanui is not exactly our most Scenic showcase Town.
Hugh Wolverine Jackman and even our own Peter Jackson seemed to go out of the way to drag crews to non-descript locations miles down gravel roads in the middle of no-where.
Invercargill People seem to be disappointed about Tapanui grabbing all the Lime light as no Doubt are some Dunedin People.
In Fiordland we feel we have a good product to offer as well, we even by pure chance discovered a Stone likeness of a Pixar like Dragon Rider in the Hunter Mountains!
So we should be on the location casting list for brand New Zealand I recon... And Dunedin is pretty sexy on the Big Screen too!
