New Zealand created the world's largest pop-up book in Hollywood

The giant pop-up book occupies an area about the same size as two tennis courts, as well as being about 50 feet high – in the grounds of the Beverly Hilton hotel, that shows how film fantasy becomes reality for visitors to New Zealand.

The pop-up book has original pieces from the actual film sets, including the large wooden armchair from Beorn’s house and a boat from Lake-town. The hotly anticipated 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' is scheduled for worldwide release on 13 December 2013.
