Question 1 of 5
The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed over how many consecutive days?
Peter Jackson's decision to film The Lord of the Rings trilogy as one giant continuous production was unprecedented in cinema history. The entire trilogy was filmed simultaneously over 274 shoot days between 1999 and 2000, with pickup shots filmed later in 2001 and 2002.
Over 2,400 actors wore costumes. Nearly 48,000 pieces of armor were made. The production employed 26,000 extras and over 19,000 costume pieces were created by costume designer Ngila Dickson's team. New Zealand's economy received a significant boost, and many locations became permanent tourist attractions.
