Hell hath no fury like a Spielberg spoiled.

From IMDB:
Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg is threatening to axe scenes starring actor Tyler Nelson in the upcoming Indiana Jones movie after he leaked the plot line to an Oklahoma newspaper. Upcoming star Nelson, 24, was so excited about landing a role alongside Harrison Ford and Cate Blanchett in Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, he revealed the plot and every major scene to local paper, the Edmond Sun. And now Spielberg is considering cutting all scenes featuring Nelson from the film following his betrayal. A spokesman for Spielberg says, "Who knows if he's ever going to work in town again?" The new Indiana Jones movie has been shrouded in secrecy since filming began earlier this year. The title of the sequel was only made public by actor Shia LaBeouf at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas on September 9.

The ballet dancer-turned-aspiring actor became the overnight golden goose for movie spoiler sites trying to crack the plot details of Indy 4. Nelson, who was offering a candid interview to the local newspaper where his parents lived, revealed several secrets, including the nationality of the bad guys Indy and his son will be fighting, whether Cate Blanchet will be good or bad, and what role Karen Allen will play in the film, among other major spoilers I had a chance to read, but will not post on my site or talk about on the show. That's how 'spoiler-ish' they are.

Alot of people on Tyler's IMDB page are calling for his blood, with threads titled, "The K-Fed of the Hollywood Industry," "he can kiss his 'career' goodbye!' and my personal favorite, "PPoop on your LIFE POOP POOOOOOP!!!![sic]" I just think he was a nube who got in way over his head. As an interviewer, I much prefer speaking to actors and film crew members who are still relatively new to the business. They aren't quite as versed at diverting questions, unlike the more seasoned 'pros,' who make an artform out of saying quotable little nothings.

As for axing all of the kid's scenes, I am sure Spielberg is powerful enough to have everything re-shot, especially if he wants to teach all aspiring actors and film crew workers a lesson about what happens when you break a non-disclossure agreement. I just hope that he doesn't let George Lucas salvage the footage by using the same techniques he did the 'Special -Han Shoots Second- Edition' of A New Hope:
