So it must be official.
Others have the story too. The labor trouble, the dispute with the unions (New Zealand Actors’ Equity and SAG ) that held up the production has not been resolved, but Warner Brother said that The Hobbit is coming to the screen, Peter Jackson - J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit to be shot somewhere, if not, in New Zealand. Fans of the middle earth know that Peter Jackson did the Lord of The Rings trilogy, shot those three excellent films in New Zealand. The thinking is that this movie has been delayed long enough and the show must go on
The Hobbit, is to be shot in 3-D. As of this date, I have refused to go to any 3-D movie, frankly, because of the extra ticket cost. 3-D is a means Hollywood uses to shake down the audience for extra money. But I probably will cough up the dough to for The Hobbit, to see something that may be worthy of the extra expense.
