@rysiek@drq I live in Wellington, so I used to see people from the Wētā crews (Workshop and Digital) regularly. Sir Richard Taylor told me this directly. He said Wētā Digital was in bad shape and on the verge of closing down. Then they got the Contact gig, and the money from that saved the company. Not long after, The Lord of the Rings came about.
A thousand years later the signal will reach the omicron persei 8, and it's ruler Lrrr will arrive at earth to ask Fry why his favorite show "single female lawyer" was interrupted 🤔
