Pages from a stolen Avengers script have found their way online, along with conflicting reports about the resulting pauses in filming.

There could already be troubles on the set of the Avengersmovie, as Samuel L. Jackson’s (Nick Fury in the movie) script was recently swiped in either Los Angeles or Burbank, California. The unscrupulous thieves attempted to sell the screenplay to a number of movie sites and bloggers, but no one took them up on their offer. Important to note, however, is that no one contacted us here at UGO. Not saying we would have been interested – becuase we totally wouldn’t have been – it just would have been nice to have been offered the chance is all.
While the aforementioned movie sites and bloggers are far too ethical to actually purchase the script and leak its entire contents, there’s apparently some kind of loophole that makes it completely OK to show some lo-res jpegs of a stack of pages. The most prominently featured one seems to describe a scene in which Bruce Banner transforms into the Hulk while Black Widow tries to calm him down and Captain America and Iron Man run somewhere. Another important note: We’ve been saying that Avengers would show Bruce Banner transforming into the Hulk and people running since jump street.
Rumor has it that the leaked script also shows Hulk smashing things.
What the script leak means (aside from some awkward moments at craft services between Jackson and writer/director Joss Whedon) is still up in the air, however. Originally, Film Fan Review reported that production would be halted while the scene was rewritten, but the site has since gone on to note that both Marvel and Disney have debunked that particular part of the rumor. This makes sense, of course, because not only do the revealed script pages tell us absolutely nothing we didn’t already know/assume, but the only people paying attention to this are nerds like us, as absolutely everyone else in the country is out seeing Fast Five and/or making Osama Bin Laden jokes on Twitter.
If you can’t wait until 2012 to see the pivotal Hulk-transformation-engine-room scene, check out the script page in question below:
