By secrecy I mean during production pictures of the set or a character leaked onto the net or tv. Is this really a big deal if someone gets a glimpse of what Harry Potter or Optimus Prime look like during production instead of 6 months later when the teaser is released????

If it is just a picture of the character on set not doing anything or getting ready to go on set a big deal anymore? With the advent of the internet stuff is getting leaked all the time and the studios must be aware that someone is going to sneak a camera on set or get their hands on a drawing or picture of a character or costume? Does this hurt the film or just intice fans more to see the finished product. I personally think if the studios periodically release pictures of upcoming films during production to the public that i can't hurt but help the film. I keep thinking of the new Transformers flick. People kept getting glimpses of Optimus Prime, Megatron and Bumblebee and I kept hoping for more since I'm curious how they're updating them from 20 years ago plus I just can't wait for the film. Plus I remember when a picture of Optimus got relased and fans got upset at the design of his head that the producers went back up made some changes for the fans liking so I take that as if fans are given some sort of glimpse and a chance to provide feedback, it can be a positive for studios to give the public some previews before the teasers
