- Description
Prime Minister John Key ties a screaming woman who representing 'NZ' to a railway line as film director Peter Jackson sits beside the track yelling directions into a loud hailer - 'Lights! Cameras! Cue train! ...And action!' Refers to the dispute 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. The battle, which has been resolved successfully after meetings between PM John Key and Warner Brothers representatives, divided New Zealanders. The government agreed to amend the country's labour laws and offered a $25m tax break to the Hollywood studio Warner Brothers, ultimately paid for by the taxpayer.
