The Filth of Saruman Found Flowing Under Hobbit Studios?

Fighter-fighters were called yet again to Miramar Studios after contractors digging on site ran into fowl smelling sludge. A pollution response team was called in and now the ooze is being labeled as “toxic” and blamed on previous businesses that once used the site including “old gasworks and paint workshops”, reports The Dominion Post . Mike Dombroski, acting firefighter commander, told reporters “The council are dealing with where [the liquid sludge] goes and what the potential could be”.

Thankfully this newest incident will not hamper with The Hobbit, as they are picking up filming again in August 2011.
