Production on upcoming superhero movie The Avengers has been thrown into jeopardy after Samuel L. Jackson's copy of the top-secret script leaked online.
The movie, which stars Jackson as Nick Fury alongside Robert Downey, Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America and Chris Hemsworth as Thor, recently began filming in Albuquerque, New Mexico ahead of a planned 2012 release.
But production was reportedly shut down this week (ends01May11) after pages of Jackson's personal copy of the script emerged online. The papers were allegedly stolen while the actor was in Burbank, California, and writers are now scrambling to re-write the scenes which became public knowledge, according to Movieweb.com.
