Studios want to stop actors from leaking film information on social network sites, and are inserting clauses in their contracts forbidding them.
Stars affected include Cameron Diaz and Mike Myers, who are due to make a Shrek follow-up next year for studio DreamWorks.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the entertainment newspaper, a recent talent contract from Disney includes a new clause forbidding confidentiality breaches via "interactive media such as Facebook, Twitter, or any other interactive social network or personal blog."
And at DreamWorks, a contract cautions writers not to jump the gun on studio press releases via “a social networking site, blog or other Internet-type site.”
“This is just the beginning,” a talent lawyer told the newspaper. “Hollywood has a long history of controlling what talent says in the media. This is just a new area of media that hasn’t been controlled yet.”
