Air New Zealand Hobbit safety video: 'The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made'

Safety is fantasy in Air New Zealand's latest Hobbit star-studded in-flight safety video, directed by Taika Waititi.

Air New Zealand has today released its new safety video which, weighing in at more than four-and-a-half-minutes, has been aptly titled The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made.

And in it, Sir Peter Jackson has jumped to the other side of the camera, taking an acting role - albeit playing the role of a director.

And Waititi, as he likes to do, has cast himself in a starring role, this time as a young and safety-conscious eagle-riding Gandalf the wizard.

The video also features Hobbit stars Elijah Wood, Dean O'Gorman, and Sylvester McCoy, as well as Weta Workshop co-founder Sir Richard Taylor, who gets dwarfed inside a giant airline seat.

Novated Car Leasing Myths What is Novated Leasing? A novated lease (colloquially know as ‘salary sacrificing’) is basically a three-way agreement between an employer, an employee and a finance company. The employee gives consent to “sacrifice” some pre-tax salary to pay for their vehicle. The employer agrees to make the payroll deduction on the employee’s behalf. The finance company sets up the deal and handles administration. If the package is structured intelligently, at the end of the term all the employee needs to do is hand the keys back and decide what car to buy next.
