The short film stars cast members from across the two film trilogies including Elijah Wood, who starred as Frodo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings films, Dean O’Gorman, who played Fili the Dwarf, and Sylvester McCoy, who played Radagast in the newer The Hobbit trilogy.

The video – titled The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made – also features a cameo from the director of the Hollywood fantasy films, Sir Peter Jackson.

It was shot over six days in New Zealand's Middle Earth locations, including Hobbiton and Central Otago.

The new video follows Air New Zealand's first in-flight safety video inspired by The Hobbit films – An Unexpected Briefing – which was released in 2012 and attracted more than 12 million views on YouTube.
