So… CHUD  says that Sam Jackson’s AVENGERSscript 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 THORto 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. == TEASER ==

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 theDARK 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  THORbecause 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!

awesome

Some geeks are just too crazy...

why do people have to ruin surprises for themselves and others...it just boggles my mind

The Masters of Evil obviously did it :)

wow I can't belive some fan boys did that. if it was me i would not want to spoil until I got the full effect. I would just not want to read the script then the movie would be too spoiled for me

" why do people have to ruin surprises for themselves and others...it just boggles my mind "

For the people that are going crazy to read it. Are they really that impatient to not wait for the film to come out? Like wouldn't it be better to actually watch a movie for the first time without knowing what's gonna happen? 

Last week DC Comics Superman  memorabilia was stolen, now this! What is wrong with people, do they have any dignity? How do they sleep at night. 

How can making a reference to Hank Pym be "too much"?  Oy, Hollywood. 

 Come on, throw us a bone here movie execs,  we eat this sh!t up when the movies have these little tidbits! 

C'mon, why do people steal stuff in the first place? That's just stupid.

This smells like the work of Zack Snyder. He just couldn't bear his Superman: Man of Steel being upstaged by Ultimate Nick Fury.

I honestly don't see what the big deal is... they practically leak the script themselves when they release the inevitable Comic version of the movie!!! 

This has been true for Batman, GI Joe, X-Men, etc, etc.... even for the upcoming Green Lantern movie, the comic adaptation of the movie has been out already way before the release, and i can guarantee its almost exact.

Besides, if you don't want spoilers, then you shouldn't read any spoilers or look for them lol

Nicks Eye-Patch of Doom> Superman

Dun dun daaaa.

DAMN YOU LOKI YOU BASTARD! Up to his old tricks again, well maybe he is just making sure his awesome enough in the movie ha ha. 

This article is really ill-informed

No love for Hank Pym/Ant-Man!  =(

Hopefully it doesn't get pushed back.

That really is just bizarre

Is it weird to any of you that, this stuff got stolen probably like 2 days ago and yesterday Osama was killed, I'm telling you stealing the Avenger stuff pushed our Seal team over the edge.

I think they should leak a few false scripts just so people don't know which is which.

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.

hahahahahaha oh god if this turns out to be true i have a new respect for nerds XD

Hydra?  Nah, not their style.

I'd die for a Zak Snyder directed marvel movie. Would that not be awesome? 

" Hydra?  Nah, not their style.

A. I. M.?  Unlikely.  Sam Jackson would have noticed the guy in the day-glow yellow rubber suit.

Brotherhood of Evil Mutants?  Unrelated to their franchise.

I think we're looking at a doomsday scenario, people.  Deadpool has broken through the fourth wall and is loose in the real world.  We should know within a few days if someone attempts to kill Cobie Smulders, who is probably going to play Janet van Dyne.  I suspect Wade has his heart set on playing the Wasp himself.

im saddened. i hope whoever stole it gets caught and destroyed finacialy.

Wow what an a-hole the person who stole it, must be.

" Has Geoff Johns been questioned yet? "

Goddammit Edgar Wright, can you just make the Ant-Man movie already? You've been writing the script for Christ knows how long.

At this point there is no real proof that a real script was stolen and according to the articles I've read about it production is still going as scheduled 

marvel just can't get a lucky break with people blowing the lid off things :L

" C'mon, why do people steal stuff in the first place? That's just stupid. "

" Some geeks are just too crazy... "

I can only imagine what Sam Jackson will do if he finds the thief, but pulp fiction gives me a good idea

Sell the script to WB or Goyer or Snyder or Nolan or the other Nolan! :D

This is old news already

SHIELD?
Transformers?
What?!

People calm down its just a rumor, the avengers movie is still going as planed, even if someone did steal the script the actual cost of halting production now would be prohibitive  

"This article is really ill-informed "

lol

seems loki is up to no good. THOR WAS A TOP MOVIE LOVE BEING AN AUSSIE :)

Enchantress did it! Would set up Loki's freedom plus the masters of evil nicely

Seriously if your going to be spoiled by this movie your going to do it. Re-writes are silly.   I will know as little as possible when I see this movie no matter the scope of spoilers that get out there.  But some people live for it.  Some people love spoilers and it does not ruin their interest or enjoyment one bit.  Most people who will jump on this script will still see the movie. Don't hold it up.
