Shia Laboeuf was terrified of leaking details about the forthcoming blockbuster after Indiana Jones' director Steven Spielberg sued a big-mouthed extra.LaBoeuf realised how serious Spielberg was about keeping production secrets, when he was first sent a script that was barcoded and watermarked to prevent duplication. He was also given a hotline number to call if he lost it.The actor, who stars alongside Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, also recalled the fate of 24-year-old Tyler Nelson, who was taken to court by Spielberg and his part reportedly cut from the film, after he leaked plot details in a newspaper interview.LaBeouf says, "The joke I had was that Steven (Spielberg) had snipers following me. And if I ever slipped and gave up any tidbits, that was the end.".
