[EvilPoet85]

Wow Peter looks real upset. I feel for him

[Askimoula]

Ministers and artists = oil and water

[dagoodwin92]

im glad i have looked at the date, after having a panic that the film was going to be cancelled

[Megadedly]

This video is old as fuck, idiots, The Hobbit has been in production for almost a year.

[Shadec1]

6:50 the doll should have stabbed that woman>> damn doll

[crinoid1919]

WOW! Peter has lost ALOT of weight :)

[lozzdip]

bloody aussies, its a kiwi film it should stay in n.zealand

[monkeydust100]

[MilesBennettDysonZ]

Well this is a confusing quagmire of shite, and no mistake!

[goskateitscool]

i love the way this is just two fat news reporters arguing 

[AnnetteTalas]

@goskateitscool Simple things amuse simple minds.

[timDOGcrane555]

Do you hate actors? lol

[gringolazlo]

Im a Derek, Dereks dont run!

[johannn94]

@gringolazlo GO DEREK!!!!!

[RetardGenius]

"an australian union" oh lol. aussies r teh evil puppeters behind it all trollolololol!. how can hobbit kiwi actors resist teh powers of sauron's aussie union? against that power their can be no victory...

i have total respect for weta workshops tho their stuff is as good as anything that i've seen from hollywood.

[Eivz0rThaGamez0r]

Hobbit Director... That can mean two different things :P

[vyctooorr]

Sir Peter Jackson could make even the most serious busineesman feel like a child again ,cuz i know a lot of people who told me that dragons,mages and epic warriors are just stupid fantasy,after they watched LotR,i see all of them playing in the backyard with wooden-swords

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

I don't get it...What's this video about?

[brad0544]

She seems like a complete bitch.

[mrsktoyoumate]

:( so sad about this... everyone see this

[michaelvd0wnzu]

that bald failure should get fired

srsly every sentence hes cutting off

[Tarimoth]

Epic battle... epic... battle.

[laurence265]

thankfully this drama is over and it turned out good. peter is chubby and jolly and filming the hobbit 1 and 2 in NZ. YAY!

[Chorlomis]

@laurence265 true that

[TheJediCharles]

Typing this while I ignore the ad.

AD FAIL!

[TheDarksaint82]

petter jackson my thets on you i whes you all the lock

[leccah]

What the? Us Aussies love the Kiwi's... we have to stick together because most of the world thinks we're the same place lol.

[helenight]

Wow, this is complex... what happened, a strike? Well, it seems to have been resolved, because the Making Of videos of The Hobbit take place without a doubt in New Zealand.

[simonc1997]

fark he has lost a lot of weight since the last movie

[Waketheworld90]

I've been in love with Philippa Boyens since about 2006

[capperz412]

What exactly is this about? Sir Peter Jackson sounds close to tears :(

[TheRealBarnez]

02:28 - I'm sorry, do you want to ask a more biased question!?

[BlackFingerFilms]

This makes Australians look so bad... I'm Australian and I think there is no other person who could come close to bringing Tolkien's works to the big screen as well as Sir Peter Jackson.

[jimbopumbapigsticks]

What kind of questions is this guy serving up? "Are you anti-union?" "Do you hate actors?" He's obviously not on the same level as Peter and Philippa.

[noxiouschemicals]

@jimbopumbapigsticks Thank you! I agree

[PapaKiIIaz]

God save the hobbit and Peter.

[MarielIsabel]

I feel so bad for peter. People are being so mean to him...he's a great guy. Like seriously, he is. Philippa Boyens is fantastic as well.

[feedthefurnace6]

Mark Sainsbury is in danger of being attacked by an Uruk Hai, by the looks of this

[sockpuff]

Thats SIR Peter Jackson to you, Helen Kelly. SIR Peter Jackson.

[chocolatehaemonculus]

@sockpuff You say it well my friend!

[ATravellersVlog]

Someone just needs to put on that Sauron armour and fuck Helen Kelly up

[ala0810]

So which actors were boycotting? Do we know??

[mistermatt157]

I had no idea this was going on. Jesus.

[heartbeatofhismelody]

The preview at the beginning makes me sick.

[ala0810]

Can someone please explain what the issue is... I really don't understand (I'm not from Australia or NZ xD)

[TheAffyman]

I'm not from New Zealand, so am I right in thinking that, Helen Kelly is a massive bitch?

[shardinea]

I swear.... Don't screw with Peter's movies!

[lanebatts26]

Fuck unions!! they are no longer needed. seriously...more trouble than they are worth

[AlexCananC]

fuck 'fresh n fruity" ads

[neil73]

This makes me sick. If LOTR had flopped, this wouldn't even be an issue. Just because hundreds of millions of $ are involved, people are trying to discredit the hardworking people of NZ. The Hobbit should've been released at LEAST 3 years ago. Oh, and I'm from the U.K. Bottom line is that the hobbit should be made in New Zealand.

[lronicDragon]

I personal live in Northern ireland but belive me when i say peter jackson and NZ are the best people to make this and that warner are trying to steal lord of the rings from the NZ people and the if the do get the hobbit they will ruin everything that wetz <peter jackson and Nz have brought to the world .

[ClubOfPointlessness]

@lronicDragon Im from Ireland too and I completley agree with you :D peter jackson makes brilliant movies and he looks so tired leave him alone and let him make some EPICNESS!!!!!!

[sander29mai]

let the director get his space god dammit

[anthonyjthorne]

I'm embarassed by the shitty behaviour of my country (Australia) with this issue, but it's typical that we're more adept at 'deals' and leeching off others these days rather than making anything of equivalent quality. And Baz Lurhmann's new turd of a film doesn't count. Glad that Peter and NZ won but I wish we'd never dived into this mess. Fuck knows what PJ and the studios think of Australian unions now but I'm sure it ain't pretty.

[happosai27]

can somone explain what exactly the problem is? i have problems with the accent ^^"

[skilledtrailers]

Haha..I remember this controversy like it was yesterday. In a morbid way it was fun for me to follow. I love a good media war. And in this case there was no threat of violence.

[ciankeaneable]

new zealand IS MIDDLE EARTH!

AND THATS COMING FROM AN IRISH GUY!

[violentfille]

I had no idea he was knighted!

[Soviless99]

whats wrong with this guys voice

[MrZargasm]

ofc the hobbit will go over seas, what kind of opening angle is that??

[McMakisha]

"she should probably just go home"

[McMakisha]

Helen Kelly should stfu.

[didgeman987]

just fucking leave them alone and let them make these wonderful movies, for christs sake

[Visiondrugs1]

What happened with this case. I know they are still doing the Hobbit.... RIGHT?!

[matthewslimbu]

Obviously the hobbit cant be in Australia just think about the scenery that a place like middle earth needs if they changed it now it would look like a real fail

[trickykid73]

Australians are clearly jealous of the lord of the rings being filmed in New Zealand . I wnt to Oz ten years back i found them to be big headed and very bad losers ....Shame

[haylei225]

Sainsbury is ostensibly working to let three sides be heard, while having a significant bias of his own- aggressively questioning all but Kelly. Jackson & Brownley hold their ground against Sainsbury's badgering, saying WB has no problem with existing arrangements with NZ and the NZ actors, but businesses need some guarantee that if they begin shooting a film in NZ,they can finish it there as well. And why come back to Kelly? God bless Jackson for hanging in there--he's truly earned the 'Sir'!

[heroicndashing]

wow, the studio needed confidence? are you serious? look at the lord of the rings how well did that go? how much money did it make...i know they're making the movies now..but really this stuff didn't even need to happen...load of bollocks!

[3rixtat3]

i dont understand what this is baout can someone explain it tome plz lol

[shardinea]

@3rixtat3 The long and short of it is that some of the actors are boycotting. And because of this, they may have to ship the hobbit overseas or even change the studio that sponsors it just to get it done, which would mean that Peter Jackson and Weta probably wouldn't have a hand in it anymore. What's more, because of this strike, Warner Bros. who has offered funding for this movie may no longer fund movies in New Zealand if they think there's a chance the actors could revolt in the middle.

[3rixtat3]

@shardinea thank you :)

[bob474100]

Helene Kelly you bitch, how dare she insult Peter Jackson. Who does she think she is, if was gonna be in this movie, i wouldnt give a shit if i wasnt paid, at least im in the movie !!!!

[nathr942]

I'm an Aussie and I definitely say the film must be in NZ, there's just no other place that is more perfect for it!

[MrBlasterFilms]

This reporter is horrible, he needs to let him talk.

[jazzmann16]

he was more handsome when he was fat

[AdvaElecGamesYYG]

I am Australian...and Australian Union, no. Just no.

[eyyub25]

Listen Helen Thorin´s comin up and is going to cut your head from your shitty throat, so get lost in the Dark Forest!!!

[peaceandmetal88]

Amazing how terrible Peter looked here. He looked so sad and angry and tired and unhealthy. This was a couple months before he had a medical emergency. This was also a year ago, now he looks more like he did when he made LotR. He's gained a lot of weight back, and looks hobbity.

[300warrior300]

@peaceandmetal88 poor pete looks like gandalf in moria.

[FaTmaN9009]

@peaceandmetal88 yehh he doesnt look right when hes not fat

[Reductable]

omfg, news in New Zealand is pretty unorganized, there you have 3 people duking it out trying to get their say in and you cant understand a word of what their saying lol

[TheObicobi]

Can't wait!

[TomsChannelNL]

Peter Jackson is so good, let him have his way as long as the movie comes out

[Danielfallz]

Mark Sainsbury looks like a gnome..

[1stCainite]

Wow, Peter lost some weight.

[Queuex]

@1stCainite He has gained quite a lot back already though :D

[Breedo]

Just offer that greedy woman the role of smaug so she shuts up.

[LowleyUK]

So at 6:07 Helen Kelly says she's surprised by Peter Jackson saying "she doesn't have a clue" - Well he said that because YOU called him a spoilt brat you lying, greedy bitch! And simply because he wants to protect his films. People like her should be sacked if they even think about interfering with art.

[Gonko100]

i want this man to get fat and fresh again. i hope jackson doesn't get consumed by the irrational expectations. His choice for bilbo was brillant, Martin Freeman will make the whole movie.

[MrSpeedDemon666]

what is this about

[cullyduff]

FUCK THE AUSTRALIAN UNION AND FUCK HELEN KELLY, YOU FUCKING WANKERS! They are destroying a success in NZ, leave it alone you pricks!

[Reblertss]

@cullyduff stfu noob this was posted last year and its staying in NZ go fuck yourself idiot

[jorssu13]

I would be ready to pay alot of money for that Sauron suit in the beginning

[thecandijedi]

I WILL NOT DIE UNTIL I SEE THIS MOVIE

[boltaction851]

@thecandijedi ME NEITHER!! CAN'T WAIT!

[cbr0oks]

he's getting a little bigger again . . .

[imgonnakillyoo]

@cbr0oks Thanks for the update......

[sixpointneuf]

heated speech from Peter, you can tell he's pationate, I can't wait for the film

[SEMGamers]

fuk off helen cunt!! we want the movie we dont care bout u peter jackson is a legiond

[tobigoodboy12]

Who the fuck is Helen? 

[sypher0101]

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Warner Bros are making this movie, not New Line Cinema (like LotR)? and the Aussie Union want to movie production moved from NZ to Australia ?

[xXdoctorXXGoNzOXx]

Director: "I'm Pro Union."

Union Representative: "The film maker is too greedy."

Politician: "I don't trust Unions."

Do the math.

[yodasmith2]

wow peter lost a lot of weight

[youtubinho2010]

HOBBIT FTW !!! vote up !

[MarshalJimRaynor]

Nearly disliked for the cow that's trying to villianize everyone that isn't her. President of the CTU? Please fire her, she's wholly incompetent at peacekeeping, being responsible, or successfully reasoning between multiple parties. More like a blow-hard windbag out to smear everyone else like some sort of Glenn Beck impersonator in hopes somebody pays attention to her. Despicable.

[BunWackettBuzzard]

When it comes to money, everyone sticks their nose in, and there is me, sitting here, waiting to enjoy a warming movie. =.=

You liked this video. We'll use this to improve your recommendations.

[Predinator2k7]

as much as i like peter jackson and he made 3 epic movies, that dosent deserve to be named as a "sir" just yet

[Willibab]

i only saw this guy when the lotr movies came out, he sure changed o.O

[JasmyneWynterstar]

@rudyhamzah So you haven't aged at all in the past ten years? Peter still has his amazing energy. Hope I can get that at his age!

[YONFIG]

I want the film about the Silmarillion after this!

[MerryFabalaFaeWaka]

@YONFIG That'll be hard...the Silmarillion is basically a history book of Middle Earth. If any one was to do though it would be Peter. That would be pretty kool with a "k" heh heh!

[rudyhamzah]

Is it just me or have Philippa and Peter grown drastically old?

[IISPLURAL]

Peter Jackson totally should have directed Harry Potter, it would have been way better if he had.

[MerryFabalaFaeWaka]

@IISPLURAL

Wha? Peter Jackson is an amazing director gotta say, but Harry Potter (except for the Half Blood Prince) was great! Can't be better...

[IISPLURAL]

hahahh true! the half blood prince was pretty brutal



[josepasillas530]

PETER'S HEAD LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED ONTO THE BODY

[Jrock69ford]

OMG, I love hearing PJ fight for what he believes in, this is the most passionate I've ever seen him speak. I love it!

[sweetpepper36]

Dude likes to interupt doesn't he.

[rebeccaodle]

i miss Peter's glasses! :(



[Herculeon]

This is an example of how to ruin your own job opportunities. Helen Kelly SHAME! You should be fired and let's see what the union will do for you.

[vlogdripless]

how can peter jacksson work with the hobbit and tin tin?

[MJDHX]

The interviewer looks like a dwarf, lol.

[TheDanielMaloneyShow]

@MJDHX I laughed so hard lol

[BackStageManiac]

my goodness my head hurts from all the idiocy

[ohdeejay]

What I am most glad about is Peter Jackson has come out of the experience as one of the truly experienced director as opposed to sought-after directors who delve into genres that are now bombasted with super heros and CGIs. He's one of the few directors that I admire along with Ridley Scott. Chris Nolan doesn't even compare.

[TheNerdyHumanoid]

That poor interviewer is trying so hard to speak and he just keeps getting interrupted. It makes the video harder to understand. :S

[Makky321]

money hoggie fuck tards

[DeeBlount20]

I like seeing Peter all fussy :)

[Fritters87]

Sainsbury's a twit.

[gringolazlo]

he hit his creative peak with Bad taste imo

[georgemullens]

what stupid questions: Do you hate actors and do you hate unions? moronic.

[Kape11meisteR]

0:55 Did he just assume that they lick people? lol

[raxxroth]

@Kape11meisteR

He said "you let", not "you licked". ;)

[Kape11meisteR]

@raxxroth thank you, captain obvious!

[raxxroth]

@Kape11meisteR

My pleasure!

[wonsly]

who cares!?  LOR is such a load of boring crap!!

[jamn805]

Helen, fuck u bitch

[cowofthemonth]

Sir Peter? awww that's great

[slayerT75]

Peters lost weight....nice job dude...I'm frickin excited for this movie....hey I'm sure u guys have heard about the rumors of Peter directing a halo movie?.....hahaha well I doubt that cause he's pretty busy now lol

[GokzTT]

Dragons are magnificent & powerful creatures, no magic can touch their scales and they breathe fire & have a love for gold. They are possibly the most powerful creatures in the world. There is a dragon in this movie XDDDDD

[Virakotxa]

@GokzTT , Ha, if you think their breath is powerfull, wait 'till you meet their Union! This is all about big corporate money imposing their model on a emerging hot-spot. If Jackson (Sir?, puaj, what a joke) wanted... He could impose over executives playing scared. But he's clearly on their side, in this.

[Ozzalin]

Omg No way! No one will prevent The Hobbit from being made!

C'mon guys! To Middle-Earth! let's tell Gandalf about this!

[McGrottomaster]

Hahahaha! How stupid this all was. About 1 in 100 Americans could tell you where New Zealand was prior to *The Lord of the Rings*. Were it not for those three renowned films, that country's economy would be based upon sheep-cheese. They can thank their lucky stars that it all turned out okay for New Zealand and for *The Hobbit*, no thanks to numbskull labor unions. The moderator did a great job -- we need *him* for an American news anchor. All we have is witless retards.

[flaarisse]

anybody noticed Peter Jackson has lost allot of weight since LOTR? watch the making of LOTR , damn there he is pretty fat!

[lilmissmusic2012]

Aaaw, poor Peter and Fran. They are soo frazzled in this video. They have a good reason to be, but that still makes me sad. :(

[mat967]

@lilmissmusic2012 its not fran

[lilmissmusic2012]

@mat967 Phillipa?

[mat967]

@lilmissmusic2012 yea

[tabacopipe21]

i really hope the world doesen`t end on 2012. i really want to watch this movie =)

[Norwayflex89]

@tabacopipe21 it wont.

[BigDaiRhys]

@tabacopipe21 don't worry Gandalf will keep the world intact for the film lol :P

[thrainful]

@tabacopipe21 Nothing is gonna happen in 2012..Don't believe in bullshit!!!

[tabacopipe21]

@thrainful yea i know i was just kiding

[RDprodx]

@tabacopipe21

its suppose to end new years 2012 isn't it??

Youll still get to see this, it comes out on the 13 december ;) but you wont see the second part, we'll all be dead apparently.
