article published on 1 April, 2009
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 ]

Amm...uhh...duh! What else would it be? Entertainment. It is meant to make money. It is not a documentary based on "Wolverine's" real life- coz' you know, he ain't real,just a graphic novel character!
All these movies are "adaptations", based on the comic book. People, stop beaotchin' about how the story is so far from the books and all that garbage.Just don't watch it, go back to "reading".
. I liked the first X-Men movies a bit more (it had more "mutant" powers show offs). Overall, I thought it was pretty good.
I am curious if the official released version will be changed much, following the public's reactions/critiques.

Some people may not like this but who cares/My buddy has the movie and i'm gonna probably check out his copy this weekend and if I like it then I will support it by giving up my hard earned money next month but if I think it blows chunks then I won't waste my time.The same thing happened with American Gangster almost 2 years ago when it was "leaked" before the studio release and it did ok(somewhat).

i think it is very cool to have an early release of a movie without some of the special effects and things like that. I cant wait to watch it, and from what i hear it is a awsome movie, so i dont think they should be ashamed it got leaked, because alot of people are hypeing it up!

sometimes I wonder if these "releases" are leaked on purpose ... not to get public opinion, but to bait torrent trackers and people to d/l them... especially for a crappy movie they know will not make money.
I mean ... lets say the movie is a flop ... the finished product stage... the editors and whomever knows its shit ... so they "leak" the movie ...then cry in court saying people cost the film millions of revenue ..and have a leg to stand on.

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.
With all do respect how about you sh*t the f*ck up! Im not supporting neither, its not cool regardles was my point.

If the movie was actually good I would go see it with the special effects added. The movie isn't good so I'm glad I don't have to waste fifty bucks seeing it in the theater. Also, maybe this will stem the flow of comic book or super hero movies. It's getting kind of played out.

I liked the movie a lot, actually,I will see it on theaters and it will interesting to see what changes are made, my only gripe was the weapon XI thing, I though Deadpool was cool to beging with, I didn´t liked the idea of him turned into a Adamantium welding guy,let´s hope they change that, as for Logan being involved with Mariko and not some Canadian lady, well, this movie it´s supposed to be 15 years before the first movie of X-men, so there´s time for Logan to frolic on Japan and Madripoor,)and for saberthoot to get the bulking guy who was on X-men too) the other thing is Gambit was in this one, so with this they made him to be a lot OLDER than rogue for the movies, too bad Magneto didn´t showed up, he was supposed to have his own movie coming out too.....

Ehh, that sucks. If they find the person, they should punish this guy to the maximum extent of the law.
Rising Sun Pictures has basically written themselves out of the industry with this. When you're leaking out movies... what studio in their right mind would let you work on their project? They've pretty much blacklisted the company and all of their employees from ever working with 20th Century Fox again in any way, shape or form.

I've watched the unfinished movie here and it is awesome. I will go see it at the movies and buy the DVD. Who ever leaked it, and the purpose was to get some buzz going. They have succeeded.

Saw it at friend's house, then watched credits had names of people and or actors not in the product. Wondering or coming to conclusion that it's not finished product. Was pretty good though considering. Will be going to theatre to see finished movie. Much better than Xman 3 !

I don't know if I would call it bold...If that's the only way one can get his point across...I'd call it senseless and childish, maybe(and that's just to be civil).

im not trying to take away from the main disscusion the movie. what i said was to the point, maybe harshley but not personal in anyway nor selseless or childish... dont analyze and make it what its not.
---i also want to point out, people keep saying that if the movie is great yadi yadi yada, it will sell great! but you guys are forgetting how much work gets putt in to making a movie(good or bad)... not trying to get anyone to change their ways, just stop and look at the complete picture. be a little thankful that we still have a strong movie industry.

To take this a little more off topic, I would disagree with you and so would the critics. Look at AFI's top 10 movies of all time. The most recent being Schindler's list. You have to go to the number 50 to get a film made in the last decade. So, no we don't have a great movie industry anymore.

You must be only comparing it to the States. Im comparing it to the world, name to me the last blockbuster made by Europeans, Africans or South South Americans...

Not sure where the selfishness comes into play.
You are not taking in consideration the fact that whatever movies you, or some, might find to be these great blockbusters and are willing to spend your 12-15 dollars on, other people might not want to waste a potato chip on them.And that's for good reason.
Just because you live in US,where Hollywood movies are the mainstream,and that's all you've been exposed to, it doesn't mean the rest of the world revolves around it. Very good movies come also from Europe and Asia, just because you're not exposed to, appreciate or care for, it doesn't mean they don't exist.

I think "Slumdog Millionaire" would qualify, as a recent one.

It has a bit more story content than I'm used to from a superhero film tbh.. but not bad. I might actually waste some of my bandwidth for the final version. *gasp*.. me .. a superhero film?... but wolverine is sexy :lol:

Good point cyprusrom.
A good recent one that comes to mine for me would be Mongol - can't wait for the rest of the trilogy. Oh but wait you have to read subtitles......
Personally I thought Slumdog was your typical Hollywood story - poor boy makes out and gets girl. This is just my opinion and others will disagree - that's cool.

I can't see what all the fuss is about with "slumdog".. want to see a good public funded film (which should be free to uk peeps who are paying for them after all) .. watch "mischief night"

sometimes i wonder if they do not leak the films themself, so they can get feedback from the net. if the leak flops, then a change is needed, else keep going ahead.
just my 2 cents

I didn't qualify Slumdog Millionaire as a great piece of art, but as a blockbuster made elsewhere other than Hollywood.
@binkie
I didn't know Mongol was a trilogy, although should've figured there was more by the way it ended. Red Cliff was a pretty good movie also.
