HAHA!! Actually I didn't know they filmed Xena and Hercules there, the only thing I knew about NZ before LOTR was that there is a lot of sheep there...
As for the movie, I am highly against any books being turned into movies because they're rarely done well. (Just look at Harry Potter, and the lesser known Joy Luck Club, Looking for Alibrandi and such)
But if it must be turned into something, I would like it to be turned into an anime, as someone already suggested because, it would be a lot better as a series because the books are just too detailed to be squeezed into 3hr. It would also be a lot easier for the directors/creators not to leave out lesser characters due to lack of budget or something. And some scenes would look a lot better in anime form... maybe some people are thinking of Pokemon or Spirited Away or something when they think about anime, but if you look at some of the more sci-fi/fantasy based anime that are aimed at the older audience, the idea of turning SoIaF into an anime wouldn't be that bad an idea... but then again, I'm probably very very biased regarding this matter...
