Excitement bubbled over on the Wellington waterfront last night as an estimated 3500 cast and crew members of The Hobbit headed to the wrap party at the TSB Bank Arena.
The public were kept strictly at arm's length. "It's a private party for invited guests only so there's no public
red carpet or that," said Peter Jackson's assistant Matt Dravitzki.
"It's just a private gathering for people who worked on the film."
Dravitzki said the film's premiere, slated for the end of the year, would be a chance for the public to see stars on the red carpet.
This weekend's party was an opportunity for cast and crew to bond after a long shoot.
