The
Omega Underground website has posted some Billy Batson audition tapes. You can see them (potential script spoilers included) by clicking
here. Of a slight concern is that the script they are working from seems to have quite a bit of
Curse of Shazam influence to it, with the reference to a council of wizards, and an allusion to the foster family. But, it seems like the Billy Batson character is in line with the traditional version, and does not seem to be the jerk as seen in
Curse. I am kind of hoping this is not the actual movie screenplay, but rather something tossed together culled from the rejected Bill Birch-Geoff Johns script just for the audition process, or if it is the current script, an early draft that has since been, or is the process of, being polished and tweaked.
UPDATE: Just a few hours after being posted, the videos were locked with passwords. A tape of Parker Young reading for the role of Captain Marvel was also briefly available before being shut down with a password, although Heroic Gateway was able to copy a part of it.
