There's an easy solution to the problem of the actors flying to NZ(btw it is VERY cheap of the production company not to pay airfare - hell, with as many actors as they wanted to show up, they could charter a plane and bring them over relatively inexpensively per person) - shoot the scene in LA. A lot of the actors probably have to regularly be in LA anyway, unless they've completely left the industry.
