Despite the astro-kabuki theater of CAA's stunt delivery of the Halo script to every studio in town, the buzz we've been hearing is that it's all been smoke and mirrors for a "horrible" script. We haven't talked to anyone who's claimed to have read it, but the assistants are ripping into it like the space-suited couriers threw a hot latte into their faces before suggesting a three-way with their mothers. (Is anyone really offering "two executives and a pack of gum"? Sounds like an overbid.) We suppose we might hear about how bad it is shortly, as the agency-imposed negotiating window supposedly snaps shut at 5pm, at which time the armored lackeys will be repurposed for unpacking the crates of fresh babies for tomorrow's CAA breakfast buffet.
