- Description
A Warner Brothers' executive sits at a huge desk and crows triumphantly into the phone: "Yeah, super deal!! We get $34 million and the law changed!.. All for shooting where we wanted to anyway and casting someone called Helen Kelly as a witch!" Refers to the New Zealand government having agreed to amend the country's labour laws and offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Brothers, in order to get agreement to allow Peter Jackson to make the two 'Hobbit' films in New Zealand. There had been disagreement between Warner Brothers 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. Helen Kelly is the President of the Council of Trade Unions (CTU).
