Not at all to be honest. As far as we know the studio or the director haven't even put out a press release. Variety *could* have put together their small article based on on simple conversation, and the other news agencies and websites pick up on it and then do their own version of the story. Some read between the lines, some just make stuff up, embellish, misconstrue... whatever.

Journalism isn't exactly an ethical profession
