Air New Zealand, the official airline of Middle-earth, has released the most epic safety video ever made in the history of the aviation industry.
The airline company in New Zealand has gone all-out to celebrate the upcoming release of the third and final film in The Hobbit Trilogy – The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies by showcasing an epic airline safety video.
This talked-about video stars Elijah Wood and Sir Peter Jackson. The instructional video, which was directed by Taika Waititi, also features cameos by Sylvester McCoy, Dean O’Gorman, Naoyuki Shimizu, and Weta Workshop co-founder Sir Richard Taylor.
Air New Zealand has a reputation to show dramatic flight safety videos. Last 2012, the airline company also released a Hobbit-inspired safety video and used the hashtag #airnzhobbit to promote it.
This new safety video is equally epic as you get to see elves, dwarves and orcs join in on the fun.
But what exactly makes this latest Air New Zealand safety video epic?
