Scintilla

I've just heard in a movie the word scintilla pronounced /'sɪntɪlə/ instead of /sɪnˈtɪlə/. Is that an alternative pronunciation or the speaker didn't know the word?

You provided the correct American and British English pronunciation. There's no alternative listed. The speaker probably learned it wrong.
