Continue ReadingYesterday was the last day of principal photography for The Hobbit films. Peter Jackson live blogged the event, and earlier today we asked fans to send us videos of their thanks to PJ and the entire Crew. The response was overwhelming! (in fact, we will have a Part II video posted later) Enjoy!
UPDATE: Thanks for all the quick submissions! We’ve sent the video over to the production crew but you can still upload your own video to youtube and title it THANKS PJ
We’re making a “thank you” video for PJ and the cast and crew and we’d like you to take part!
Simply email Justin an iPhone video or something from your laptop tonight and he will string them all together and upload to YouTube in the morning.
Reports are coming in from central New Zealand – that is the lower North Island, where Wellington is, and the top of the South Island – about damage from a powerful 6.5 earthquake that struck at 5:09pm local time. This has come after two days of smaller quakes, all centred around the Cook Strait. There have been no reports of casualties and the worst damage reported so far is the collapse of a concrete facade in central Wellington and damage to one of the ferry wharves. Citizens are on high alert however. TORN readers concerned about the situation can follow it on Stuff or on Radio New Zealand Quakes are tracked on GeoNet We are unaware of any impact on the Hobbit film production at this point.
