Description

Tony is sceptical that Warner Brothers will agree to filming 'The Hobbit' in New Zealand if they find they can 'save a single cent by moving the Hobbit to Slovakia'. He selflessly says that the only people who really miss out are the actors and then realises with dismay that this is not true, that all the crew will miss out too. Jaimee says sarcastically that they love it when the 'warm props express an opinion'. Refers to the stouch between Warner Brothers, represented by Peter Jackson, and NZ Actors Equity over a union demand for negotiations over the terms and conditions offered in the contracts for actors and others working on the film that very nearly caused the film to be made somewhere else.
