Raiders of the Lost Script? Spielberg Office Robbed

Published by Matthew Jeppsen October 3rd, 2007 in News, Off Topic

Steven Spielberg’s Universal Studios office was robbed recently, and the thief allegedly offered at least some of the stolen goods to popular online sites for $2000. “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 Spielbergâ€™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.” It has been reported that the robber was later apprehended and is in police custody. No word yet on if the Indy 4 script may have hit the web.

Coincidence?

“Francis Ford Coppola’s latest movie script has been stolen from his home by armed robbers. The 68-year-old director’s screenplay for ‘Tetro’ was stored on a computer stolen from his home in Buenos Aires, Argentina, by five men on Wednesday (26.09.07), who beat and “tied up” several of his employees.”

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing Rob! Odd that two big name directors get hit in a week’s time. Perhaps this sort of stolen property has finally reached a level of value to be worth taking? Though offering it for a measly $2K to TMZ seems like a pretty slow way to get rich… :-/
