Fans of 'The Hobbit' take note: Film production has begun
"Cameras started rolling Monday on director Peter Jackson's production of "The
Hobbit," following months of delays on the prequel to his Oscar-winning "Lord of
the Rings" trilogy.
Hollywood studio funding problems, a threatened actors' boycott and ulcer
surgery for Jackson have plagued pre-production on the $500 million, two-movie
project.
The director posted a studio news release on his website Monday saying
production has commenced in New Zealand on the much-anticipated project."
