Saruman Releases 'Toxic Sludge' on Hobbit Production
|
Can't Post

 This story just reeks of the foul craft of Saruman trying to disrupt The Hobbit production:
Firefighters are tonight working to contain a toxic "sludge" leaking at The Hobbit studios.
They were called this afternoon to Stone St Studios where the Hobbit is being filmed after contractors noticed a gas-like smell coming from a trench in which they were working.
The workers had been digging in the ground when they hit the foul-smelling sludge. They immediately called the Fire Service.
Fire Service acting assiantant area commnader Mike Dombroski said the leak was being treated as a "hazardous substances'' incident. Emergency services have poured concrete to stabilise the trench to prevent the sludge further seeping from the ground and entering the area's stormwater system.
Joking aside, we hope there are no harmful long term affects on the region! And since Weta was on hiatus this week, we don't believe this actually has any affect on the production. [Read on] Thanks to Ringer Michiel for the heads up!

Sounds like the previous paint factory owners left some hidden surprises.

There are problems of various sorts on every big production; the only reason you get news on The Hobbit is because it is creating a ridiculous amount of industry for New Zealand.
So, yea... no curse. It's just the life of filming. I mean, LOTR had several setbacks, too, not to mention their actors getting hurt here and there... and while I am certainly no expert at the industry, I do know that stuff happens all the time. Setbacks happen. This is a strange sort of setback (which will likely not even set them back, since it happened during a hiatus), but otherwise not terribly uncommon.

It's so close to the shore that it could have been a massive ecological mess! I'm so glad no one was injured and they got it under control so quickly.
 
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
