After the Avatar: The Legend of Aang movie leak, another Avatar project might be in the sights of hackers.
That's according to the original leaker, known as ImStillDissin. In a new deep dive from The Hollywood Reporter, the leaker revealed that hackers are targeting Seven Havens, an upcoming animated series that is a sequel to The Legend of Korra.
"There are a substantial number of people who have access to internal stuff like this," said ImStillDissin. "There's more under the tip of the iceberg."
Back in April, ImStillDissin claimed to have been "accidentally emailed" the entire movie, though the new report says that wasn't the case (THR has the full breakdown, but the report says third-party screening company Vision Media is "investigating whether the leak can be traced back to security vulnerabilities in its platform").
Full, non-watermarked versions of the film soon leaked online via a separate user, and the movie even appeared in Letterboxd's "popular this week" list.
"I saw it's just a Paramount Plus thing, so I decided I'd troll a little bit," original leaker ImStillDissin said, noting they didn't plan on sharing the entire movie.
The film is indeed a streaming release, though one animator has argued against using the release strategy as a justification for engaging with leaks. "I don't like seeing people use Paramount's awful decision to remove the movie from theaters to justify leaking it," said Julia Schoel after the leak. "I totally understand folks not wanting to pay for/support Paramount Plus, but pirating the movie after its release would have at least been better than this. This is incredibly disrespectful to all of the hard work the artists put in."
The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender will release on Paramount Plus this October 9. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the most exciting upcoming movies and upcoming shows.
