Breaking Story: Indiana Jones and the Secret of the Stolen Set Photos!
Written by Robert Sanchez
Tuesday, 02 October 2007
Steven Spielberg has another reason to be pissed off. Over 2000 production
stills, production budget breakdown and other sensitive materials from
Indiana Jones 4 were stolen from his office.
This is a story that we are going to be hearing much more of in the
upcoming days but here is the skinny.
Over 2000 production stills, plenty of sensitive paperwork including a
complete production budget breakdown, possibly the script from Indiana
Jones 4 and multiple computers were stolen from Spielbergs Universal
Studio office.
The thief started contacting multiple entertainment websites including
TMZ.com and offering the stolen goods for a sum of $2000.00.
The IESB has been informed that TMZ.com may had obtained some of stolen
property and were on the verge of running the story on its TV division
until Paramount lawyers stepped in.
TMZ.com went as far as promoting their upcoming story but we have been
informed that they have scrapped their original plans.
The good news for Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and the fine folks over
at Paramount, the alleged thief was apprehended today at the Standard
Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. around 4:00pm PST.
We have been told that the thief was apprehended by LAPD and the FBI with
the help of a member of the online press that had been offered the stolen
property. Sources tell us that an undercover sting operation was set in
motion late last night with the help of the unnamed member of the online
press.
A meeting between the alleged thief and the unnamed online reporter was
set up for 4:00pm at the Standard Hotel on Sunset Blvd. The sting went as
planned and the arrest was made. The IESB has been told that the alleged
thief was in possession of the stolen property.
We are waiting for Paramount Studios to issue an official comment at this
time.
Charges to be filed against the individual are unknown at this time.
Stay tuned as this story develops.
