Don't know if I should weep or
applause. Why you ask? Well it seems that all the rumors and supposedly done
deal castings, like Jason Momoa as Aquaman have been coming from a fake script
that was leaked on propose by Warner Bros.
Earlier today Badass Digest
pointed out in one of their pieces that there was "leaked" script floating
around that they believed was fake due to the tons of spelling and punctuation
errors, but despite that they still gave it the benefit of the doubt because of
the supposedly trustworthy source from which it came from. Now however it seems
that it was all an elaborate rouse done by Warner Bros. and written by none
other than Kevin Smith.
According to MovieWeb, they just
received a tip from a "source" that said the following:
This isn't a scoop regarding the plot or the details
of the Batman v Superman movie or am I writing you in order to spoil or
disappoint the general public.
My insider info regards a who has been the source of the vast majority of leaked information as regards to the movie and more importantly why.
Up until last year I worked for as a PA for a Warner Bros. exec until I was promoted to marketing. It was here I and several others where approached to work, directly and indirectly, for Susanne Knoll and sometimes Deborah Snyder.
It was here that I became a part of a particular strategy that Warner Bros has been using to great effect.
Early this year a Screenplay for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice which was commissioned by Warner Bros was leaked to several gossip sites. It was a scanned PDF of the entire screenplay baring a official Warner Bros watermark.
This script has been the source of almost every leaked detail about the movie for the last six months. It has been posted on sites then quickly removed due to cease and desist letters from Warner Bros.
While the screenplay is legit and the watermark is legit and it is was commissioned by Charles Roven himself...
But it is written by neither David S. Goyer or Chris Terrio.
It was written by Kevin Smith.
Late last year both Charles Roven and Zack Snyder approached Kevin Smith with a early treatment for the film and It was Kevin Smith who came up with the idea to write an entire screenplay based on it but with several huge red herrings and changes which do not appear in the final film. These include plot points and characters etc etc. and 'leak' it online.
This script was distributed by myself and others
to gossip sites and movie sites like aintitcool, latino review, movie pilot,
etc etc
My job was to pose as a worker at Warner Bros who was leaking the screenplay.
There were several others involved who posed as recently fired members of the production, interns and special effects artists and we all spread the misleading info around the web.
None of this was done maliciously and was a strategy to misdirect much of sites that intended to spoil the film.
So! Who do we believe? I mean
Kevin Smith has been pretty much giving hints about the project for quite some
time, like Batman's new costume, but on the other hand it's not unheard of a
studio to engage in disinformation to keep their products spoiler free, but to
this extent?
What do you guys think?
