Steampunk HQ spokeswoman Jan Kennedy wants filming of a steampunk-themed movie to happen in Oamaru. "We’re already on board and this town is a steampunk town. "It’s going to be interesting to see what the powers that be in this town could do ... or is there any future developing the town as a Steampunk town?" Sir Peter said in his Facebook post that the company had held the rights to Mr Reeve’s book series for several years. In 2009, Weta Workshop, a Sir Peter connected company, was involved in a Steampunk exhibition at the Forrester Gallery.
