The script for the new James Bond film Spectre has been leaked by Sony hackers, the film’s producers have confirmed.
Eon Productions said an early version of the film’s screenplay, which stars Daniel Craig, Christopher Waltz and Ralph Fiennes, has been “illegally made public” by hackers.
In a statement on the OO7 website, the production company said: “Eon Production, the producers of the James Bond films, learned this morning that an early version of the screenplay for the new Bond film Spectre is amongst the material stolen and illegally made public by hackers who infiltrated the Sony Pictures Entertainment computer system.”

It added it was concerned that “third parties” who had received the stolen screenplay “may seek to publish its contents. The screenplay for Spectre is the confidential information of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Danjaq, LLC, and is protected by the laws of copyright in the United Kingdom and around the world,”
The title and cast for the forthcoming James Bond film was released last month, with Monica Belluci, Sherlock’s Andrew Scott, Léa Seydoux and Christoph Waltz will play the German-sounding villain Oberhauser, while Naomie Harris will return to portray Eve Moneypenny.
