The leak of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ is being investigated by the FBI. The movie was leaked and the people who produced it are pissed that it is available to watch/ download freely on file-sharing sites, and a whole month before the movie is due to hit screens.
The leak of the unfinished, work print version of the new film, ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ has led the studio to release the hounds as it were. They are pulling down all the bootleg downloads they can find online, before the proliferation is so great there is no pulling it back.
Seriously, they are twerkin’ it like they are the YouTube DMCA popo on crack or something. Everyone knows that once something is on the Internets, it’s always on the Internets. If the Church of Scientology (Co$) failed to remove the much talked about Tom Cruise promo a year ago, what the hell chance does any one else have.
The movie is apparently barely watchable. Even Fox called the leaked movie a “stolen, incomplete and early version”.
Viewers reported that green screens and wires attached to actors were still visible.
One user wrote on film website Ain’t It Cool, “The CGI is missing and the movie looks horrible without it. Even if you see the work print you’re still going to have to go see it in the theatre to fully experience the full movie with CGI effects fully intact.”
Fox confirmed the film “was without many effects and had missing scenes and temporary sound and music”.
The exact source of the leak is not yet known. Whoever the film stealer was, according to what I’ve read on the BBC, they are in some deep poop once caught!
