I don't mind revealing these spoilers, firstly because they don't really spoil anything and secondly because this film will never be released. Why? Because the Académie française will never, ever allow it. They don't care so much about English but American and the language of the internet and technology - culture - the future - seriously rubs the AF up the wrong way because they still haven't got over the fact that French hasn't been the international language of diplomacy since about the 18th century.
Then again, it might take them some time to notice, given that they currently appear to be occupied with the massively important process of inserting cs into the word "cloakroom" throughout the country so that they don't have to admit they have borrowed yet another anglicisme. I mean, guys, seriously - cloackroom just looks stupid (or, stucpid, as the AF would probably have it). And don't even get me started on the reasons why French guys called Steve spell it Steeve (never mind that Etienne is the French equivalent of Stephen, anyway; that name is so '80s, I guess).

The French for LOL should, of course, be RTH (pronounced air-tay-ash) for rire tout haut, but of course none of the cool kids in France are going to be using that as they send "un texto" to their buddies. Not if they have any sense anyway.
