The producers behind a major film in the South Island have issued a blanket ban on media interviews after a controversial resource consent application. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is being filmed at Flock Hill in Canterbury.
Earlier this month it was revealed the Selwyn District Council had given the filmmakers the go ahead to build a major road in the area. Film spokesman Ernie Malik says media coverage of the film has been restricted until all aspects of the issue are settled.
