One month before its theatrical release, a workprint version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been leaked online, and is seeing huge downloads as I type.
The film, being a "workprint", has some special effects missing, as well as the occasional view of wires still attached to actors during action scenes. Although unconfirmed, some are reporting that the leaked version is missing some of ... [ read the full article ]

Upon some Google searching it doesn't look to be a "bad" workprint like previous ones.
However, it probably doesn't contain the reshoots that occurred and this is one of the movies I would much rather see in the theater first than on my tiny computer screen. :P

It's definitely true, I watched it this morning. The missing effects don't really subtract from the film, but I don't know about any re-shoots. The quality was near DVD-rip and very watchable and with good sound. The film itself was decent though, I'd give it like a 6.5.

That's friggin hilarious! I had no idea another sequel to this franchise was even coming out. Mostly cause it's a franchise I really have little interest in and cause I have yet to see the previews for it on T.V Hahaha! Think of all potential money Fox is losing because of this. Millions will have already seen the movie so that by the time it "officialy" hits theaters hardly anyone will be there cause it'll be old news by then. "Yeah yeah, I saw that movie like last month. Why the hell would I go and pay to watch it now?" Anyyways, I'll wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes now and go on about my day.

Hell yeah, Mutant Chronicles was incredible! Won't even waste my bandwidth on X-Men related shite, and I was a huge fan of the comic when I was young.

I downloaded the dark knight, after which saw it twice in the theaters. Finally purchasing it on blu-ray. If the quality is their so is the money. The production companies need to learn that.

I think thats a d*mn shame. Somebody puts an idea together, works at it to make it happen and BAM! Someon else destroys it. Thats selfish and plain wrong. Takes peoples motivation away from doing better, no respect. They could have waited till after it got relese the least.

"They could have waited till after it got relese the least."
With all do respect to your point, ripping people off is still ripping people off whether a legal alternative is avalible yet or not. Those who intended on paying to see the movie still can. The rest would have still downloaded and watched this for free anyway. Granted,the early word of mouth(which from what I've read has been poor at best)doesn't help the situation much but its too late to worry about that now. The cat's out of the bag now. The studio will just have to spend a little more to make any necessary alterations to the final product before it hits theaters or do better to secure their films next time so that at least they will have recieved something before a pirated version is leaked.

"Rising Sun Pictures is an Australian visual effects company that worked on editing the film, and WAS working on the upcoming blockbuster Terminator Salvation. There is evidence however to support that RSP will not obtain work again."

I feel like all studios should do this...leak unfinished workprints, as I can honestly say that I will be paying to see the final cut in theaters, the workprint won me over.

I think they did this on pupose to advertise the movie and get the buzz going because i would see the finished product anyway.
I wish star trek was leaked rather see that.
but from what i saw the story was good and acting was good the main surprise finding out how old wolverine was that was a surprise.
i believe if he was 9 in the beginning then that would put him around 1836 as when he was born.
I liked it and other people that dont I dont care what you think thats your opinion.

True story, this movie is getting raked over the coals on the imdb.com forums for being monumentally horrid. It's being called the Speed Racer of 2009.

Anything is possible I suppose, but I doubt very highly that this was done on purpose.

Myself, even being able to download a leaked version...I would rather wait and see it on the big screen! I cant believe some people dont have the patience. Ive been anxiously awaiting this for quite some time. This movie will see some return from me, and others like me. I liked Xmen I,II,III! 5-10 dollars really isnt that much to go see a movie. Heck 20$+ counting munchies isnt that bad either, when a movie deserves it. But then, im pretty easy to please :D The last movie I saw was, Watchmen! I dont regret spending over 20 for both my brother and I. Though I must admit, im even more anxious for Star Trek!!! Ive been waiting MUCH longer for that one!!! I would spend 100$ on that one!!! Do you hear me Paramount, Disney, Etc? If a movie is worth it...

Right or wrong, these things are out there. If Hollywood would put out a quality product there would be no problem.
The Dark Knight was widely available on the net but it set box office records. On the other hand, Speed Racer, which just plain sucked didn't do so well.
The public is sick and tired of paying hard earned money for crap. Early releases give them the ability to make an informed decision.
Maybe this will help Hollywood to start making good movies, or start charging appropriately.

I found it very interesting to see the movie unfinished. And will definitely be going to the theatre to see it again.
Even more interesting will be how the movie is reshaped due to widespread opinions. Something that very few movies are fortunate enough to have.

i hope they did some better stuff on the re edit because the whole implying that weapon XI is wade wilson was horible it ruined his character totaly. Deadpool never had those kind of powers he was a merc with a mouth who do to his cancer was dying so they fused him with wolverines healing powers which kept the cancer at bay but the side effetcts were his disfiguration and like wolverine he had gaps in his memory from the experimenting, and come on stealing other mutants powers to put in weapon XI without hurting the mutants or causing some kind of trauma, isnt stryker suposed to be a sick and twisted man he killed the General but he doesnt hurt the mutants with painful mutanat power extraction experiment< Gay as hell. i hope the edited version is better not that it would be good cause all be told it is a mockery to Wolverines character, he fell inlove with a Oriental lady where he learned the way of the samurai not some teacher in the mauntains of Canada, and his memory loss came from experimentations and attempts to twist the truth, not a werewolf type scene "Wolverine can only be stopped with a silver bullet"(adamantium bullet) sorry all and all lame. i take it as it is a movie with entertainment value and nothing more.
