Stand-off over The Hobbit continues

Published: 7:40PM Friday October 01, 2010 Source: Close Up

As the stand-off between Sir Peter Jackson and an actors' union over working conditions on The Hobbit continues, Close Up asks what kind of effect it is having.

Jackson has blasted the union, saying it's damaging the New Zealand film industry, and that he is considering packing up and taking the film elsewhere.

Can this conflict be resolved? American film producer Rob Tapert, best known for his work on Xena, Hercules, and Spartacus, talks to Close Up about who he thinks is right - the union, or Jackson.
