Joker's Movie director says 'who gives a SH*T' about the leaked script

Todd Phillips, the director of the Joker movie starring Joaquin Phoenix has spoke out about the leaked transcript for his movie, saying to GameSpot "I don't care that you read it--I like that it's out there." He also said to GameSpot that he enjoys the idea that people are even interested in his work enough to read the leaked script and that the script people are reading is actually six months old.

"The leaked script got leaked six months after we started writing, six months before we started shooting", said Phillips. "Somebody else asked me about it, and I go, 'I like that it's out there. Throw 'em off. Go that way.' Literally, that script that went out was an April draft. We started shooting the movie in September. That's six months of writing--that's half the writing process." It seems that Phillips already knows that whatever is in the leaked script won't spoil or ruin the movie since its already in cinemas.
