Singaporean authorities have arrested a 26-year-old man suspected of leaking Paramount’s upcoming Avatar: The Last Airbender animated movie online, according to a report by The Straits Times.
The arrest follows an investigation launched by Paramount Skydance after the film—previously titled The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender—was leaked onto the internet ahead of its scheduled October 9th premiere on Paramount+.
Police allege the suspect accessed a server where the project was stored and uploaded a copy of the entire movie to the web. Authorities reported finding the full film on the suspect’s electronic devices during the investigation.
The suspect’s identity and additional charges have not yet been disclosed. The case remains under active investigation by Singaporean law enforcement.
