- Description
Jaimee and Debbie discuss the possibility that the production of 'The Hobbit' will be taken overseas. Jaimee thinks that maybe a lesson has been learned about spending time making 'Goodbye Pork Pies' and less time making 'Without a Paddle'. Debbie is sorry for Tony who loved acting in the 'Lord of the Rings' movies and who is now looking for 'alternative employment opportunities'. In the last frame Tony is shown at an interview bravely saying 'The milky bars are on me' as a prospective employer in advertising tells him that they will let him know. 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 Bros.
