Winner of seventeen Academy Awards, The Lord of the Rings was brought to the big screen by New Line Cinema and directed by Peter Jackson. Wētā Workshop was intrinsically involved in the design and physical effects manufacture for all three films.

Borne on dark horses and shrouded in black robes, the Wraiths galloped over countless miles to the lands of the Shire in search of their quarry. Needing neither rest nor food, they were the ultimate hunters, ceaseless in their vigilance, drawn relentlessly by the call of the Ring. From beneath black rimmed cowls voices like knives scraped over stone repeated the same two words to any they crossed: Shire … Baggins …
