So far as I can tell, *all* extras were Kiwis, as well as all the
production crew with the exception of the management-level roles. All post-production was done in New Zealand with the exception of music recording, which was done in London because it was done by the London Philharmonic (easier to go to the orchestra than to bring the orchestra to NZ).
Just as a matter of interest, some of the music for the Fellowship of the Rings was done in Wellington, New Zealand with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. The Mines of Moria sequence and the end part of the movie was needed for a thirty minute showing at the Cannes Film Festival and as the film was very much still in production at the time it was decided to record the music in Wellington to make things easier, and no doubt a lot cheaper. The rest of the movie is the LPO as is the rest of the Trilogy. I was fortunate to be doing music preparation on those sessions in the Wellington Town Hall.
