Miramar Studios |
A small explosion is reported to have rocked Peter Jackson’s Hobbit Studios, injuring two employees. Ceris Price, the Hobbit unit publicist is calling the reports a “slight overstatement” and went on to explain the two victims where drilling a statue in one of the workshops when the explosion took place. Price reported the two victims to have “mild burns but nothing serious…One of them had some burnt nostril hairs and apparently if that’s he case, there is always the risk of inhalations so they get checked out.” Both employees where taken to the hospital and investigation is underway as to what exactly caused the explosion.
