I have no idea how many of you have been following the trials and tribulations Peter Jackson's The Hobbit is currently facing, but since I haven't dealt with it specifically just yet I figured I would give you a little update as a video interview with Jackson and Hobbit co-producer Philippa Boyens with TV New Zealand's Mark Sainsbury has just arrived online.
It was first reported back on September 25 that the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) was advising actors not to accept work on the "non-union" Hobbit production as part of an international labor effort begun by New Zealand Actors' Equity and its umbrella The Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance headquartered in Australia. The goal was to bring The Hobbit filmmakers to the table to negotiate a contract providing minimum guarantees on wages and working conditions, residual payments and cancellation payments to actors engaged on the production.
