The Hobbit-Sir Peter Jackson will be made in New Zealand, Prime Minister John Key has announced.
He said at a press conference this evening that new labour laws would be introduced to Parliament tomorrow to support this. It will apply only to the film industry.
Mr Key also announced The Hobbit will get a $20million ($15m US) tax rebate - US$7.5m per film - and said he would be surprised if the films were the last to be made by Warners in New Zealand.
The future of the $670 million production hung in the balance after an actors union issued a no-work order on the films last month.
Have opted a poll to whether or not you guys thought the movie should have been moved over-seas instead of its 'roots' New Zealand.
