Keep in mind, too, that the studios used to (maybe still do) throw all kinds of made-up crap at the Hollywood trade papers, just to keep the studio names and the names of their actors and the titles of their upcoming movies "out there" at all times. I wish I had a dollar for every time I asked an interviewee about items published about them in HOLLYWOOD REPORTER or VARIETY and they didn't know WHAT the heck I was talking about. Then in some instances, my interviewee was the one who planted the false item; for example, I asked Alex Gordon about trade paper reports that he was going to make a sequel to DAY THE WORLD ENDED and he said naaaah, he never intended to, but he/AIP SAID they were in order to be in the papers. Et cetera.
Bernard Glasser, producer of RETURN OF THE FLY, CRACK IN THE WORLD, etc., told me that he once got fed-up with the fact that one indie producer (I forget who) had made-up the name of a publicist, and every day this non-existent publicist was announcing (via the Hollywood trades) that the producer had just finished doing THIS and was now doing THAT and would NEXT be doing...blah blah blah. So Glasser finally had somebody call all the papers and report that this "publicist" had been killed in a car crash, and the papers ran that item, and the full-of-crap producer was temporarily forced to stop.
Sooooooo .... there's "Hollywood trade papers" for ya.
