It’s harder to keep it all under wraps than you’d think.
It’s so fun to see actors excited and passionate about their upcoming projects, especially when they’re ready to share them with the rest of the world.
On occasion, that excitement can spill over and before you know it, spoilers slip out.
Sometimes, it’s not that big of a deal and it goes relatively under the radar. In this day and age, it tends to blow up a bit bigger though.
