Word going around is that there really WAS a screening of the movie but that this specific person's claims about what happens in the movie are false, despite containing kernels of truth. Supposedly the actual word of mouth coming out of the screening was indeed very, very good, however.
I have a huge problem that Yahoo and other sites are still making a lot of noise about the Reddit "leak" despite it more than likely being fake. I've seen that article repeated in multiple places, but only the Superman Homepage has a disclaimer that it's fake. The Homepage always has credible inside sources on any and all of these productions and is always among the first to shoot down false rumors early and often, so while their "inside source who worked on the movie" isn't named, if they say they have a guy and that guy in turn says the Reddit leak is fake, then there's no reason to disbelieve it, nor is there any reason for people to keep reporting on it. I hate internet "Journalism", there's no accountability and you don't have to make corrections or retractions, it's so bogus.
I also read the Hal Jordan rumor this morning, but as has already been pointed out, that was "revealed" at the same time and from the same source as lots of other false information. I'll say this much of what I know: There was absolutely nothing about Green Lantern or even Hal Jordan anywhere in the leak from the Spring. Now, back then they hadn't even announced any plans for Green Lantern at all as far as the upcoming DC films, so there's a chance they may have decided to add something after most of everything else was done, just to provide a more direct link to the JLA movie. I can see them doing that. But IF Green Lantern or even just Hal Jordan do show up, that was something they added literally at the very end, like 5 minutes ago. I won't be shocked if they do - recent rumors have it that now that they have an actual idea what they want to do with GL, DC/WB are thinking of downplaying Cyborg's overall importance to the League and making GL more prominent instead - but I'll believe it when I see it as far as anything for him in this movie goes.
Spoiler:
As far as the leak I have goes, it describes the state of the JLA at end of BvS as: Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman united as the core of the League, Aquaman heading back to Atlantis but offering to help out if he's needed, Vic Stone is all messed up but isn't Cyborg yet, Flash is literally just a red blur on a screen, and nothing at all about GL, which I admit is weird.
Now, it's entirely possible that very, very recently, a decision was made to put Flash and GL more "front-and-center" in a brief scene at the very end of the movie. It would make sense, but given how we've very recently had people as high up as Affleck flat-out saying there's little to nothing of Flash or GL in the movie, like just a couple weeks ago, I just find it hard to believe. They might have decided to stick five seconds of Flash or GL in there, but I kind of doubt it.
I personally still feel like in the actual movie, Flash and GL will be hinted at or implied but not actually seen in full until the JLA movie. That's the plan they've been committed to for two years, it seems unlikely they'd shift gears at the last minute. It happens, but again, in this case I'll believe it when I see it.
Do you remember the so called "No jokes" policy? well what they are saying that the DC movies will be better than ever and that's no joke.
