Did anyone see the series with stephen Fry, Last chance to see?
They were looking for the Kakapo parrot and stopped by the hangar where they are building the Lancs (clearly visible in the back ground ) to talk to PJ about the Weta.

I think it's on there somewhere if anyone's interested.

NO!

NO, I didn't see it, which was a direct answer to your question!

I would have been interested though! :ymapplause:

excellent news all round it seems - at LAST, this film seems to be being made! $\:D/$

I'm still intrigued how the flying sequences will be achieved though. there's never been any mention of using either of the two flying Lancs, or even JJ - i REALLY hope it won't all be CGI

there are no computers in the World that can equal a real, flying Lanc!
