Opening Ceremony Spoilers: London 2012 Olympics Kickoff Will Be Spectacular But Not Secret

Opening Ceremony Spoilers: London 2012 Olympics Kickoff Will Be Spectacular But Not Secret: "The London Olympics opening ceremony will be a grand spectacle – but will it be a surprise?

In a word, no.

Director Danny Boyle wants the details to stay secret and games chief Sebastian Coe has pleaded for insiders to stop leaking details of the extravaganza. But in the age of camera phones and social media, with 10,000 performers in the ceremony, thousands of Olympic security and staff and more than 10,000 journalists already at the Olympic Park, not much can be kept out of the public domain.

"Part of the modern world means you can't really do that," Boyle acknowledged about keeping secrets as he showed journalists a mock-up of the set for the opening scene of the ceremony, weeks before the event.

So, a spoiler alert: Stop reading now if you want Friday's opening ceremony to be a surprise. Stop, stop, stop."
