The Hobbit News
Two days ago in The Cinefantastic Online, Tom Powers wrote that the Hobbit movie's production will stay in New Zealand like the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Not only that, but New Zealand's Parliament passed a law that said that actors and other film production personnel hired as independent contractors can not subsequently claim to be employees, preventing the workers from claiming additional rights. What does that mean? The actors unions decided to boycott the movie to get Peter Jackson and Warner Bros. to keep the production in NZ. They stopped boycotting last weak realizing that the studio was earnest. It took interventions and assurances by the prime minister (in article is misspelled) to get the movie to stay in NZ. In the end it stayed which in my opinion is good because all of the other movies were in NZ and the movie would have the same middle-earth effect.
