In promotional preparation for the release of Peter Jackson's next film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, a prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, a giant Gollum sculpture has been installed at New Zealand's Wellington Airport. The 43-foot long and 9.8-foot tall suspended installation features the creepily emaciated character reaching for his oh so "juicy sweet fishes" over the cafeteria of the airport.


The massive figure was constructed and installed by Weta Workshop, a Miramar-based special effects and prop company, which has worked closely with the film franchise on costumes, sets, and props in the past.



The impressively imposing piece was completed in three days and currently hovers over travelers getting their own bite to eat as it welcomes them to New Zealand, the proud home of LOTR.

Natural disasters can hit us at any time, therefore the best way to avoid calamity is to be prepared for the disaster such as the Hurricane Sandy. With the purpose to help you keep safe and protected in disasters, Pond in Japan has developed a shapeship-like device dubbed the Life Armor.
