This one is probably super-easy, but I feel like sharing:

I've recently returned from a trip to Paradise, and despite the road signs saying, "Paradise: No Exit" we did indeed make it back. A few years ago many of you will have seen this place as a movie setting for an extremely grand residence. Whose residence, and can you give a name or two for the building involved?

Extra geek points: in our recent visit to Paradise we actually stumbled across a set for another movie currently being filmed there (as well as in several other locations). Care to take a guess as to what this movie might be?

The Crisco people?

No.

Eta: oh, you mean the people with the big mansion? No, not them. This is from a work of fiction.

trust me not to read the question properly. i must be a little light headed from the gym.

Is Paradise the name of a town?

Shayne Parkinson · 11-14-2011, 09:14 PM

It's the name of an area close to the village of Glenorchy, about 40 mins from Queenstown and an absolutely beautiful area.

Clue: there's a link between the movie with the building mentioned earlier, and the movie whose set we recently stumbled across.

Well... when I think of films and New Zealand, I think of The Lord of the Rings, and now the Hobbit.

No idea though about buildings

Shayne Parkinson · 11-14-2011, 10:38 PM

You're quite right, Peter! We stumbled across what I'm fairly sure is a set for Beorn's house.

Spoiler:

Please pose a question at your leisure.

Edited to add: since Peter would prefer not to pose a question, I've put the details of the answer into a spoiler in case anyone else would like to try it. Otherwise, first person who wants to ask a question please do so.

PeterT · 11-14-2011, 10:43 PM

I'd rather not post questions; I seem to do rather poorly in that sense. I leave this open for the next interested party to pose a quiz

pdurrant · 11-15-2011, 03:47 AM

OK, here's a question from Round Britain Quiz.

If five contains four and six contains nine but eight and nine only contain one each, what does seven hold?

HomeInMyShoes · 11-15-2011, 07:50 AM

I'm wagering that unless someone saw the shows this will be a very long round.

It's a radio quiz. So you even got that wrong!

.

That said, I've no idea, and without some hints I suggest that HIMS may be right.

HomeInMyShoes · 11-15-2011, 08:12 AM

^Ooops. Saw, heard, if I was staring at the radio...

Every angle I've tried out so far hasn't panned out so far. I think the key is the eight and nine. Try and attack this from things that contain one.

poohbear_nc · 11-15-2011, 09:05 AM

Is this one of those ridiculously simple visual quizzes - disguised as a math problem?

HomeInMyShoes · 11-15-2011, 09:07 AM

^On a radio quiz? How devious.

pdurrant · 11-15-2011, 09:11 AM

It is a completely fair quiz question.

Everything (bar some basic background knowledge that I'm sure you all have) is in the question.

If no-one's got it by tomorrow I'll tell you what twelve contains. Perhaps that will help.

We stumbled across what I'm fairly sure is a set for Beorn's house. Spoiler: The earlier use of Paradise was for Orthanc, which was CGId into a scene that has few buildings of any sort,let alone a huge tower. And part of the Lothlorien scenes were filmed in nearby beech forest. Please pose a question at your leisure.
