TWO people have been hurt in an explosion at the studios where "The Hobbit" is under production in New Zealand, according to local reports. Emergency services were called to the Stone Street Studios, co-owned by Oscar-winning producer Peter Jackson about 11.30am local time, the New Zealand Herald reported, as a result of an "industrial explosion."
Two people were taken to hospital, with a fire service spokesman suggesting they had been injured - however Wellington's The Dominion Post reported the pair were hospitalised as a "precaution."
A spokesman for Wingnut Films said the explosion was in a workshop, not on set, and filming was continuing.
