Jackson Hospitalized - Hobbit Delayed
Originally reported by Stuff.co.nz, Sir Peter Jackson was hospitalized late Wednesday night, January 26th, due to a stomach ulcer.
From Hobbit publicist : “Sir Peter Jackson was admitted to Wellington Hospital on Wednesday night with acute stomach pains. He subsequently underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer. Sir Peter is currently resting comfortably and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Sir Peter’s surgery is not expected to impact on his directing commitment to The Hobbit beyond a slight delay to the start of filming.”
This unfortunate incident is the next in a long line of incidents that has caused delays in filming for The Hobbit. Filming was to start mid-February for the two part Hobbit, but that is now tentative as Jackson will need his recovery time.
We all wish Sir Peter Jackson a speedy recovery.
