Let’s stop with the unofficial, camera-phone caught, plot-spoiling, on-set images shall we?
As a huge movie fan — and a film and TV writer who has recently developed a children’s TV show for British broadcaster ITV — I love being teased by movie studio trailers, TV spots and images from upcoming films. Discovering titbits about plot twists and epic never-seen-before explosive scenes is all part of the film world fun.
But I’m getting increasingly perturbed by over-zealous people with camera-phones and too much time on their hands. More and more people are uploading out-of-focus and completely out-of-context [with the film’s storyline and concept] images from film sets, usually taken more than a year before the finished movie is due to be released.
