Actor's law suit against New Line not related to Jackson suit

By M&C Movie News Jun 13, 2007, 6:18 GMT

The suit filed by fifteen New Zealand actors over money possibly owed them in a contract dispute involving merchandising has nothing at all to do with New Line's famous dispute with Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson according to the actor who instigated the action. New Zealand actor Bruce Hopkins (Gamling) informed TheOneRing.net exclusively that the whole suit came about because of a clause in his contract that he took seriously enough to bring to the attention of a lawyer."As hard as it may be to believe, this has absolutely nothing to do with Peter and New Line or their current situation," he said by e-mail. "I have been incredibly inspired by Peter because of his ability to live his life in the midst of what he loves...So possibly I took some courage from seeing him stand his ground when he felt he needed to, but no, I am in fact tempted to feel a little guilty that Peter and Fran (heard) of this through the media here in New Zealand."
