Probably to be expected, given the PJ connection, the availability of WETA, and relatively cheap costs compared to Hollywood. I'm not however convinced how well it could pass for Numenor, though, as opposed to Eriador and Rohan/Gondor; Westernesse lay in subtropical latitudes.

I remember Fonstad's
The Atlas of Middle-Earth had Númenor somewhat north of the Girdle of Arda, but that seemed a bit too tropical for me. I picture it as looking like France or Spain.
