WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Feb. 3 (UPI) -- Movie director Peter Jackson has been discharged from a New Zealand hospital where he underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer, TVNZ reported Thursday.
Shooting on Jackson's current project, a two-part big-screen adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," was due to begin next month, but has been delayed while the filmmaker recuperates at home, the Web site said.
