Avengers Script Stolen?

Avengers Script Stolen?: "

Would you steal this man's script?

So… CHUD says that Sam Jackson’s AVENGERS script has been stolen! Scripts have been posted online
and the doc’s being auctioned off somewhere. That’s all the rope I’m going to
give you… find it yourself if you’re really that curious. This scandal’s
started (highly-dubious) rumors that production on the movie’s been halted so
the script can be re-written and spoiled scenes can be omitted. I strongly doubt
that a major blockbuster’s production is going to be stalled because a few
fanboys might know spoilers earlier than usual, but believe that if you really want
to.



If your taste runs more to tidbits with much surer veracity, go on
and check out Marvel Studios head Kevin
Feige‘s interview with Collider. Oddly enough, he talks about how the crew
dressed the set of Odin’s vault of cosmic treasures in THOR to make it seem like one item had been stolen. I suppose
the AVENGERS screenplay like that
would be valuable enough to store alongside cosmic trophies like the Infinity
Gauntlet and the Worlock’s Eye, but I’m pretty sure they’re alluding to the
Cosmic Cube… uh… Tesserect that Red Skull gets his hands on the CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER. Go
on and check out my beginner’s guide to that little-but-powerful object if
you’d like to learn more.



Other tidbits
reveal in a nicely congenial way…

• The Times Square
  shoot from a week or two ago that involved Cap and Nick Fury might have been
  for THE AVENGERS. Or maybe it was a
  pick-up scene for the end of CAPTAIN
  AMEIRCA’s credits. That’s for them to know and you to eventually find out
  about.
• While there won’t
  be a Pixar-produced Marvel movie, there will probably be an
  animated feature at Disney proper. Haven’t there already been a whole bunch of
  DTV animated features already, though?
• Marvel was a bit
  intimidated by the giant spectacle displayed in the DARK OF THE MOON trailer,
  but Feige’s already confident that the shots of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier in
  Avengers will answer all that Decepticon stuff
  quite soundly.
• Feige and Edgar
  Wright are well aware of how long it’s been since the ANT-MAN movie
  was announced at a Comic Con. They’re taking their time to make sure the
  script’s good, and the latest draft is supposed to be pretty damn close to
  shooting shape
• Despite that, a
  throwaway line about Hank Pym was cut from THOR
  because it was in the same scene that referenced Bruce
  Banner and the crew felt that was overfilling the ol’ Easter
  Egg basket.

That’s a lot to chew on there for you maniacs. Debate and discuss below.
If we pool information, maybe we can smoke the screenplay thief out!
