Hollywood star Reese Witherspoon and talk show queen Oprah Winfrey are headed to New Zealand.
Oscar-winning actress Witherspoon and Winfrey - one of the most recognisable faces in the world - are destined for Queenstown on a two-week filming trip.
A source told the Otago Daily Times the duo are set for a fortnight of shooting on location near Lake Hawea in central Otago on a NZ143million movie project called A Wrinkle in Time.
