 GoF film "terror threat" was greatly exaggerated - WB and Leavesden speak about it Summary:
We have received - via the CBBC - confirmation about what exactly happened at Leavesden Studios last Friday when there was a supposed "terror threat". Article: GoF film "terror threat" was greatly exaggerated CBBC Newsround, run by the BBC, have, as ever, come to the rescue and have fixed rumors running amok around the internet.
According to various less-than reliable sources, Leavesden Studios, the location for the majority of the filming for Goblet of Fire, received a terror threat via telephone, last Friday.
Here is what they had to say on the matter: Quote: The studio has confirmed that a hoax call was received last week, but it hasn't resulted in any increase in the already tight security there.*
Quote: A spokesperson for Warner Bros. told CBBC Newsround Online: "As with all responsible companies we take the well being of those within our employment, particularly children, very seriously.*
"We have in the past received the odd hoax telephone call, but because of our strict security policies we always report these incidents no matter how seemingly trivial, to the relevant authorities.*
In this case as with previous hoax calls, no further action has been taken nor will be required".*
Quote: Hertfordshire Police also told Newsround that they had not drafted in extra officers or police dogs to patrol the studio.*
The two previous news articles about this can be found here and here.
Thanks to CBBC Newsround for clearing up yet another rumor.  | |

I read about this story on teletext this morning....I was really shocked!
the trouble is with these people, is that they think everything is to do with terroism dont they? I mean, when they realised it was a hoax, they were all saying that they 'looked at the possibility' but they didnt did they!
They just assumed it musty be a terroist action!

Its hardly likely that any terrorist would blow up a few film stars.. the best place to blow up at the moment would be the olympic staduim...

they should still probably keep the security a bit higher, now that the idea to attack the set is floating around...even though it's a very unlikely thing.

They took the matter seriously it's just that it happens so often and they know the callers are ammateurs most of the time but they don know what they're doing. Besides that. they're not even filming at leavesden at the moment, it's all outdoor shoots.

thats great news! gosh, look what the prankster had us doing yesterday. we were arguing and yelling, all for nothing. im glad it was nothing serious! Ah man! I missed the argument! *pouts* 
I'm relieved too, after all, things like hoax calls and threats have to be taken seriously, especially in this day and age - sad but true! :/
Well lets just hope nothing else can tarnish the production of GOF! The crew deserve more than that.
