Did they film the other three Hobbit movies in your country before? Are people like just starting to get greedy now or what.
Yes the other 3 movies were filmed in Nz, they have a area designed as Hobbiton.
That they were working on are redeveloping it for the Hobbit, not sure if that will go ahead now as Warner Bros are indicating that with unrest they may head to the UK and film.
Negotiations are still taking place.
Just move the dang thing already. If they want to work on the Hobbit then like just move it to a place where they want to!
Negotiations are now with the govt and Warner [Brothers] are trying to get better subsidies which will make the studio more money.
It will be interesting to see what happens next.
Not quite the correct news talks are still taking place, however the PM has said that the money being sort is not a figure that they may be comfortable agreeing to.
It is work contract neg that may swing the deal with law changes, perhaps.
Will post when I know more...
