The latest in the X-men film series has been a success at the Box Office despite the entire film being leaked on the internet a month before the film’s release.
'X-men Origins: Wolverine' - In Cinemas Now!!An Angry Wolverine still beat Hannah Montana!!
A month before the film’s release, tragedy struck when an almost finished copy of Wolverine was leaked onto the internet. It was estimated to have been downloaded 100,000 times from file sharing websites like ‘Limewire’ and ‘Pirate Bay’. Film studio 20th Century Fox soon confirmed that the copy had been removed and reported to the FBI. Both the FBI and the Motion Picture Association of America were investigating who might have pirated it and have promised to prosecute the culprit/s, but as of yet nobody has been charged.
"It's a serious crime and there's no doubt its very disappointing – I was heartbroken by it" said Wolverine himself Hugh Jackman when asked about the leak. "Obviously people are seeing an unfinished film. It's like a Ferrari without a paint job."
