Rally Video Supports Filming of THE HOBBIT in New Zealand

Martin Freeman’s recent casting as Bilbo Baggins has been the lone bright spot in the rather troubled preproduction of The Hobbit. However said casting news does little to lessen the very real and troubling battle between Warner Brothers and The Australian Media, Entertainment and Art’s Alliance – previously covered here and here. The dispute puts The Hobbit production at a standstill and would most likely result in the production moving away from New Zealand, home of The Lord of The Rings films.
Warner Brothers executives are visiting New Zealand this Monday, October 25th to presumably make a final decision on whether or not the film can be shot there. Rallies are beginning to be held In New Zealand urging for an end to the union dispute. To help raise awareness, Hunter Abbey has created a video mixing real footage with lines of dialogue from Lord of the Rings. It’s a pretty awesome edit and definitely worth checking out. Hopefully these problems can be worked out because everyone around the world associates New Zealand with Lord of the Rings. It would be shame to move production to another country due to a few people causing problems. Hit the link to see the video.
Thanks to Collider reader Robert for the heads up.

Theres the link mentioned in the video^^^ Show some support fat hobbitses!
when is the wellington Rally on the 25th and where does it start from?
What more do the executives need than three proven, academy award winning films that were all shot in New Zealand? Really?!!! It should be a no-brainer that the films HAVE TO be shot there. The system is already set up and the locations are all chosen, the props are all there, and even the same set builders can keep the same consistency. Economically and time-efficiently it makes total sense. How many hours of pre-production were already spent on these films did Peter and Guillermo say were already done for these films? All of this BS in the name of Unions’ greed to take the money to their overinflated pricing and regulations for crews. This crap just gives me a headache.
Screw those union thieves! I’ll join the filming crew for 1/2 the price and twice the work. WHO’S WITH ME!! “Scab pride!”

The landscape is good in new zealand for the hobitt and if it is not shot there I will not go see this movie and I hope that peter jackson will quit and so it will all crumble the movie so it will not happen
