James Bond is the one who can usually be relied on to get his hands on some secrets, but the Sony Pictures’ secrets being spilled after the North Korean hack into its emails are revealing a lot about the latest Bond movie, “Spectre”.

Sony say an early version of the script was stolen in among the gossip and tales about stars and their foibles, and there are fears it will be published online, although the film’s producers are warning anyone who does will fall foul of UK copyright laws.

The Bond films are among Sony’s most valuable properties, with the last Bond movie “Skyfall” making over a billion dollars at the box-office. “Spectre” is due for release in November next year.
