I heard Lake Wanaka area is lovely.
Good luck, mbak
Most tourist end up in Queenstown when they come here..never been there myself though..however welcome..
But it is not my task to tell rich travellers where to go.
Hi Kauri, thanks for the suggestions. Looks like places you mentioned are real touristic places. Will have too ask my producer whether we can afford shooting there, because we plan a small budget movie.
Lachi, thank you for the link. Yes the lake is beautiful, I hope my producer will let me go (to NZ) too hehehe
Guadal, my character is not a rich traveler. She’s a student, that’s why this is gonna be a backpacking trip for her.
Hi Sophia, thank you for the idea. I can imagine my character chuck a dart at the map and follow the trek, that'd be interesting. Thank you
When Vincent Ward wanted to find a location for his very dark movie 'Vigil' he was reported to have driven thirty thousand kilometres to scout for a location and ended up in the Uriti Valley in Taranaki (which really is dark!).
There has already been a road movie shot in NZ called 'Goodbye Pork Pie' in which the protagonists flee the length of the country in a yellow Mini Cooper but it didn't really show off the best of the landscapes and there is certainly room for another movie of the type of which you describe.
While I am from the North Island I have had many trips to the South Island and if you were to shoot any movie there you can't really go wrong. As one Hollywood director recently said; "It didn't matter what direction you pointed the camera, it was just one breathtaking vista after another".
Tell your producer or casting manager that if you need a Mel Gibson look-alike for your Mad Max lead; I am very available and willing to work cheap! (I often have people at work telling me that I look like him!)
