[Michael Regina]

*The night is darkest ere the dawn… and dawn has ever been the hope of Men!*

After days of closed door talks between New Zealand Prime Minister John Key
and Warner Bros. executives, the verdict is out today:

*THE HOBBIT WILL BE MADE IN NEW ZEALAND*.

Mr.John Key has only minutes ago announced at a press conference in the
Beehive theaterette that Sir Peter Jackson’s Hobbit films will indeed be
filmed in New Zealand.

Media outlets have yet to post links to any videos… but stay tuned to TORn
for updates as more of the good news makes its way on to the interweb.

*TODAY IS A PROUD DAY FOR KIWIS… AND A JOYOUS ONE FOR FANS AROUND THE WORLD.
*

*CONGRATULATIONS TO ONE AND ALL.*
