During the innings break, Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, made his way into the ground. Nasser Hussain, the captain of England, was disappointed enough to attribute the poor showing to a lack of intensity. There was none of the epic tussle and swing of fortunes associated with the battle on the screen. Replying to a modest 244 for 8, the visitors stumbled to 89 all out against some wobbly medium-pace of Andre Adams and part-timer Nathan Astle. It was an insignificant, insipid encounter, remarkable only due to the spectacular collapse of the English side. The actual match had none of the drama of the Hornburg Battle. The millions of viewers riveted to the action scenes of Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers actually heard noises generated by the spectators of an England vs New Zealand ODI played at Westpac Trust Stadium, Wellington.
Arunabha Sengupta recalls how Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, got the spectators to make the noises later used in battle scenes.Īt the Battle of Helm’s Deep, the great black orcs of Uruk-Hai clashed against the Rohirrim.īred from the heart and slime of the earth, Saruman’s tall, long-haired soldiers roared and growled as they breached the fortress before being defeated once Gandalf and Éomer joined the forces of Aragorn. However, the noises made by the spectators that day were packaged into some of the epic moments seen on celluloid. On February 16, 2002, New Zealand and England played a largely insipid ODI at Wellington.
