U.S. Film Studios: ASS Backwards
New Line, Warner Bros and MGM Need Earthquake Prayer Sheets

New Zealand Earthquake Forecast
Filming is scheduled to begin in February 2011, which coincides with new waves of seismic activity throughout New Zealand!
Removing the Last Hints of Employee Rights
“Yesterday parliament passed a labour law change the Government said was an essential part of the deal to ensure the movies stayed in New Zealand,” according to a report.

“We’d like to thank Prime Minister Key, his cabinet and the other dedicated New Zealand officials for their support and cooperation, which helped assuage our concerns and enabled us to keep The Hobbit in its proper home of New Zealand.” New Line, Warner Bros and MGM said in a statement.
May You Film in Interesting Times!!
