Locations

The film revolves around the Dúnedain settlement of Taurdal, which is home to the Chieftain Arador and his son Arathorn. Taurdal is becoming something of a refugee camp as the Dúnedain flee their homes when outer settlements are attacked by Orcs spreading out of the mountains.

West Stow's Reconstructed Anglo-Saxon Village

The first time the Producer Kate Madison visited West Stow around Christmas 2003 she realised immediately that it was ideal for the Dúnedain village where most of the film is set.

The village near Bury St Edmunds will be transformed into the fictional Dúnedain settlement of Taurdal for at least two weeks in 2008.

Other Locations

As well as the scenes in Taurdal we also require a number of different landscapes from marshes to forests and mountains through changing seasons.

These have still to be confirmed but may include places such as Snowdonia, Epping Forrest or the Lake District
