One of them is his wife. May not be that one, though.

Yet I do.

No one is going to remember him for some dumbass play. He isn't going to live another 20 years. Hobbit should be the only thing he is worried about, and his priority.

I remember the Tennant/Bilbo rumors, and now that I know who he is, I will cry like a fanboy.

Here is Jackson's side of the story. Long read and goes into detail, and pulls no punches. He lays out the conspiracy as he sees it.

Well at least what Peter said was in english and made sence if true. All that other shit sounded like something a lawyer would say.
Fuck it. Guess I will read the book again, will never see the movie.

Rumor has it they would dump New Zealand and film in eastern Europe in order to avoid that dick actors union. Article doesn't really address that.

SAG backs off.
New Zealand Actors Equity said Thursday that it has removed the "do not work" order placed on Peter Jackson's The Hobbit ... The U.S.-based Screen Actors Guild also called off its boycott.
...
"It's a question of confidence in our industrial relations, and the damage was done within a week of the blacklist going on," Jackson told Close Up, a program on New Zealand's TV One network."

Fuck the SAG.

I heard they pretty much decided to dump New Zealand, though. Looking at Ireland. The PM of NZ is going to appeal to the movie studio.
