Reese Witherspoon, Oprah Winfrey and Mindy Kaling have captured our hearts and headlines with their glowing reviews of New Zealand, posting regular updates of their time in New Zealand on social media. But today the New Zealand Film Commission quashed those rumours, telling the Herald there is "no partnership or relationship of any sort". A spokesperson for the NZFC said the production may receive a screen production grant from the Government, if they qualify once filming is complete. Witherspoon's Instagram posts have gone out to more than 8.6 million people, while Oprah is just behind on 8.4 million followers.
