The start of the film based on Tolkien's "The Hobbit" was hampered by a series of difficulties, including a conflict with the New Zealand actors' union. Filming in New Zealand was questioned until the government there changed certain legal regulations in order to facilitate the work of the film crew. Due to the uncertain start of filming, Guillermo del Toro gave up directing the film in early 2003.
