I knew this was going to happen at some point, but with a twist:
A version of the script has leaked. You may end up seeing it somewhere. I've seen it, and here's what you need to know:
It's not remotely close to the script we are using. The leaked script is Version 7. It was finished sometime in May of 2007. We are now on Version 12. That was finished in December/January of 2008. The changes from then to now aren't little. Version 9 was almost an entire plot and structure rewrite. We did take a few individual scenes from Version 7, but that's it. Version 7 is quite literally not the movie at all, not even half of the movie.
If you see it and want to read it, it's up to you, but know that it is almost nothing like what we will end up shooting (it has major plot and story issues, which is why we did a complete rewrite). But at the same time, there are also spoilers in there--it's not completely different from the final script. If you read it, you'll go into the movie and know a few of the scenes and situations. I know I prefer to go in fresh, but some people don't care.
I love that of all things, the old script leaked. And why now, as opposed to earlier? I haven't sent that version of the script out to anyone in months and months and months. This is so comically awesome on so many different levels. I can't wait until people start accusing me of posting it to drum up interest, just like how I conspired with Katy Johnson to create a lawsuit against me in order to get press.
