Indiana Jones 4 Production Materials Stolen from Spielberg's Office

Computers, photographs and proprietary information were stolen from the production office of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, according to Variety.

A spokesman for director Steven Spielberg confirmed the theft but could not comment on when or where the alleged crime occurred because "a law enforcement investigation is ongoing."

IESB.net reports that:

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 Spielberg's 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 site goes on to say that the alleged thief was apprehended today at the Standard Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. around 4:00pm PST and was in possession of the stolen property.

The security breach comes a week after the confidentiality breach when movie extra Tyler Nelson revealed plot details during an interview with his hometown newspaper, Oklahoma's Edmond Sun. That story was removed from the newspaper's website.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released May 22nd, 2008 and stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, Igor Jijikine. The film is directed by Steven Spielberg.

    What the f*ck, as if filmmaking isn't already tainted by corporate greed, now we've got this *sshole impeding the release of something that should be truly entertaining (albeit a money machine). Does he just hate movies?
    The art just has so little meaning to most people anymore.

    You can just tell he's a crack addict, that stuff could be worth more than $2000. Let alone the fact he was an idiot for stealing it in the first place.
