New Zealand born Peter Jackson filmed the entire three films in various locations around New Zealand.  The rolling hills of Matamata became Hobbiton, while the volcanic region of Mt. Ruapehu transformed into the fiery Mt. Doom, and Queenstown, New Zealand's adventure capital, was the setting for numerous scenes including the Eregion Hills and the Pillars of Argonath.
