Privately owned Weta Workshop, headquartered in New Zealand, was established in 1987 and operates with approximately 230 employees, primarily focusing on the design and production of assets for movies, videos, and sound industries. Functioning as a design and physical manufacturing facility, the company serves the entertainment and creative sectors by creating a range of elements including entire worlds, weaponry, creatures, costumes, make-ups, and miniatures.
On August 14, 2026, Weta Workshop unveiled the Mouth of Sauron miniature statue, which takes inspiration from the sinister servant's appearance as he approaches the Black Gate in the Oscar-winning *The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King*. This followed Black Bear Pictures' release of the first official trailer for *Wicker* on July 30, 2026, a film where Wētā Workshop engineered Alexander Skarsgård's humanoid character without relying on CGI.
