Sort of reminds me of the union issues that Lucas faced when in production for, I think it was either The Empire Strikes Back or The Return of the Jedi. I don’t remember which one where they really started giving him hell.

In reply to Elias. The point was that they were asking for things because they were fair and PJ came back proving they clearly knew nothing about what they were asking because he already did everything they said and more. He was already more fair than the "fair" they were demanding.

I don’t understand why you put fair in quotation marks? What sort of demands did they make that you feel are “out of line”?

In reply to Steven. The only doubt would have been if they listened to their Union bosses and didn't rebel against their error in judgement. PJ would have taken it to the UK just to prove a point if it came to it. He knew they would see it his way. It only made sense for everyone to do it this way.

Was there ever any doubt?

Excellent news indeed, New Zealand is so beautiful I couldn’t imagine the Hobbit being filmed anywhere else. I am glad the Hobbit film will also have the same look and feel as the previous LOTR films as far as countryside scenery goes.
