Eon says it will protect rights to SPECTRE screenplay

Eon Productions issued a statement where it said it would protect its rights to the SPECTRE screenplay.

In THE STATEMENT, Eon said “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.”

The script “may not (in whole or in part) be published, reproduced, disseminated or otherwise utilised by anyone who obtains a copy of it,” Eon said in the statement.

Separately, four James Bond fan websites, issued a joint statement, where they said they won’t write or publish any information about SPECTRE related to the Sony hack. The websites are James Bond Brasil, James Bond-magasinet, The Bond Bulletin and James Bond Club Germany. You can CLICK HERE to see a copy of the statement running on the James Bond-magasinet website.
