You see, just a few weeks ago, Eli's biggest concern was Pirates 3. Now his biggest concern is straight up pirates. Someone stole an early workprint of the film and dumped it online. "The worst part," Eli confided to me after the screening "is that you want people to see your film in a theater. But here's this version before we did sound or visual effects. It's not my movie." Then he rolled his eyes and joked "You almost wish it was pristine, so at least they'd see the movie you're proud of making."
