[QUOTE=MercZ;25550267]The issues that the actors have been having conflicts is that they have no minimum guarantees of wages in their contracts, or assurances over the working conditions on the set. There are no cancellation payments in the event shooting is dumped or actors cut, and they don't have any payment for future broadcasts or releases of the Hobbit when it gets into DVD. Remember there are much more actors and others involved in the movie beyond the leads who are virtually the only ones guaranteed to get something out of the movie.
I find it funny that Jackson is falling back on saying that Equity is being bullied by the Aussie MEAA, even though the two had agreed to joint action some years ago. Take the case of James Bryson, one of the model directors in the original LoTR project, who got unjustly fired and successfully argued the case in court, but was subsequently blacklisted from NZ film projects. It's the case with a lot of these people who are frankly not pleased that NZ's filming industry has essentially set it self up to be the place for film projects to go to if they don't want to pay the production fees and fair wages to crews in other major countries, like the US, Australia, UK, Canada, etc.[/QUOTE]
so what you're saying is it's OK to be a professional gaffer or extra and make more than people who build roads and construction workers and shit, like it is in america?
fuck their movie industry
New Zealand was a great place to film, its sad to see them depart.

Yes, the bit up to the Misty Mountains is the same sort of ground, but otherwise, you've got Goblin Stronghold, Mirkwood, Beorn, Wood-Elf Palace, Lake-Town and the Lonely Mountain. I didn't say it was set entirely in a different place in Middle-Earth, but the main bits of the plot are.

Mirkwood!
Fucking-A.
[QUOTE=bravehat;25545879]The whole thing could be done up in the scottish highlands, it's got the countryside, it's got the mountains, it has an abundance of lochs, it's got the cold dark winter forests and as an added bonus it has the heroin addicts that can play golem :v:[/QUOTE]
I love it

The Shire is still in the Hobbit. :v:
But from what I recall, the Shire in the Trilogy movies was just a made up set, and it wasn't a big wide open area like Rohan.
