latest news and rumors from the production of the hobbit movies:

1) MGM turned down the $2 Billion offer from the Indian producers. Still no news on final settlement, it is thought to be ‘soon’.

2) A preliminary casting call was just held in Wellington, NZ looking for real short and real tall people, essentially as extras.

3) The company for obvious reasons hasn’t signed a contract for the movies with the local movie actors union. All actors unions in the US, Canada, Australia, etc. have called for their members not to work on ‘The Hobbit’>

I hate MGM AND the unions!

I can understand MGM, they're just plain stupid. What's the problem with the unions, though? Not enough fame and fortune working in Middle Earth industry?
