The person who allegedly leaked Paramount’s new Avatar movie has been arrested
Following Paramount Skydance’s move to launch an investigation into how its upcoming Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender animated feature leaked onto the internet, a suspect has been taken into custody by police. If he is ultimately found guilty for unauthorized access to computer material, he could face a jail sentence of up to 10 years as well a fine of $50,000. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, a person claiming to be behind the leak account said that they were trying to “troll a little bit” because of Paramount’s decision to release Avatar Aang directly to its streaming service rather than giving it a theatrical debut as the studio originally announced.
