Check out Weta Designer and Grordbort’s creator Greg Broadmore talk about bringing rayguns to life, sci-fi inspirations and his greatest achievements to date.
This interview was shot for Clearnet's new site at this year's Armageddon, Wellington.
Weta Workshop was tasked with initiating design work on Aslan for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The process began with drawings but progressed quickly to sculptures and eventually culminated in the creation of a neutrally posed scannable maquette to serve as reference for the digital artists at Rhythym & Hues, who produced the final computer generated Aslan seen in the film.
On The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Weta Workshop was tasked with designing a myriad of different species to inhabit the world of Narnia. A huge number of ideas were pitched, with the director choosing his favourites from the throng. Along the way, some were discarded, while others evolved into the versions seen in the film.
Doctor Who fan and the Weta modelmaker who helped create our Doctor Who range of collectibles, David Tremont, has been interviewed by drwho-online.co.uk.
We are thrilled to unveil the second piece in our range of statues for Disney’s The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian.
This is an impressive bust of a Minotaur in battle, measuring 38 cm in height. Designed as a high end collectible by Weta artist Stephen Crowe, who also designed armour and weaponry for the film and sculpted by Weta veteran Jamie Beswarick.
The first in a series of six helmets from Doctor Who, exclusively available from the Weta website and at selected shows. It will start shipping in July/August from our local warehouses in the UK, US and New Zealand.
We are thrilled to be traveling to London to meet you and other friends at the MCM show 24-25 May.
This year in particular, we’d especially like to hook up with fans of Doctor Who.

Check back for more as we celebrate the book’s debut and count down to the release of the new movie, Disney's The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian!
