Jackson's production company, Wingnut Films, and the union Actors' Equity have been at loggerheads over pay deals for actors in the New Zealand 660 million dollar (US$500 million) two-film prequel to the highly successful "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. The statement gave no indication of where the films' production might be moved, but co-producer Fran Walsh, Jackson's partner, said Warners already had an executive in England scoping filming locations and assessing the studio used for shooting the Harry Potter series for relocating "The Hobbit" movies. U.S. studio Warners owns the studio complex.
