Despite Greenlight, Hobbit Movie Might Still Depart New Zealand

I suggest death valley.

Man, this just grinds my gears to no end. I love New Zealand, and I really wanna see the Hobbit filmed here. You can see Peter Jackson in that interview hurting so desperately to try and pull things together. The poor guy looks worn down, and fair enough too, having to deal with that harpie-parasite Helen Kelly

New Zealand's reputation for film making has just suffered a devastating blow, which is really sad given the effort so many people have made to build it, and all the great films made here (not just the LOTR).

If it is the Australian Actors Union that's causing all this fuss, then why is anyone in New Zealand even listening to them? Do they even have any kind of clout in NZ? Or am I just missing something here? *confused*

I also find that it is impossible to form an opinion on this.

I just cant make heads or tails of any of anything is seems.
