What will New Zealand do once THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES comes out? The country became a tourist mainstay after Peter Jackson filmed THE LORD OF THE RINGS, drawing millions to visit the picturesque countryside that would represent Middle-Earth. With the final chapter of the prequels hitting theaters later this year, there may not be much left but to bask in the existing six films.

Keeping with their previous video effort, Air New Zealand has filmed an epic new safety video that even includes cameos from Elijah Wood and Peter Jackson as the safety video includes all manner of elves, orcs, and hobbits. If only domestic airlines could have something this cool. Now we just need TSA to tell anyone wearing a belt that they shall not pass.

THE HOBBIT: THE BATTLE OF THE FIVE ARMIES opens in theaters on December 17th.
