\"\"<\/a>Close Up’s<\/strong> Mark Sainsbury spoke with Sir Peter Jackson<\/strong> and Philippa Boyens<\/strong> about the dispute surrounding The Hobbit. The location for the interview was the set for Gollum’s Cave currently under construction. The video can be viewed \u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Portions of the interview have been transcribed by TORn message board gem Ataahua<\/strong> who’s faithfully been keeping us updated of the scene as it unfolds down in New Zealand.\u00a0Highlights from the transcription follow:<\/p>\n

PJ<\/strong>: “There are sets behind us being made to shoot on. This is Gollum’s cave for goodness’ sake. It [the allegation that Warner Bros. always wanted to take The Hobbit<\/em> overseas] is absolute junk. One month ago, no one in a million years thought this movie was going to leave the country. At that point [four weeks ago] the confidence in our country as a stable base to make movies was eroded. Is the movie going to come or go? We don’t know. Unfortunately, lifting the blacklist doesn’t have anyting to do with it: The damage will be done. Warners are coming here next Monday and we’ve got to fight like hell.”<\/p>\n

Mark Sainsbury<\/strong>: “Right here, Thursday night, what is the status of The Hobbit?”<\/p>\n

Philippa<\/strong>: “Probably going out the door.”<\/p>\n

PJ<\/strong>: “Yeah. The studio are coming through on Monday and I’m wracking my brains to find out what they need to get the confidence that they need.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
