A high-quality, full-length version of what is being touted as a workprint version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has leaked online and has been available for download on several bittorrent sites since Tuesday. Several sources say the movie has been downloaded more than 75,000 times already. The bootleg copy is said to be a DVD-quality version of 20th Century Fox’ssummer tentpole without a timecode or studio watermark, though it is also being described many places as an "early version" of the movie with some effects shots unfinished. Reviews of the movie based on the leak are also cropping up across the Internet. The film, which stars Hugh Jackman, is not scheduled to release until May 1.

Although the economy stinks, and I’d love to save myself the 10 bucks it’ll cost me to see the new X-men flick in theaters — I’d much rather wait and see it completed and in full effect on the big screen.
your in the minority, congrats on wasting 10 bucks.
April fools? 2 hour rickrule?
It’s not a joke kids. It’s the real deal. Some heads going to roll at Fox today.
Wow..it looks so…bad.
“Jack Meoffer” — No, you’re in the minority. Anybody who would rather see an unfinished movie that lacks many special effects and a couple scenes instead of watching it finished on the big screen, just so they can brag to their friends and on message boards that they saw the bootleg early, is the idiot.
Honestly, I saw the links online (and no, you DON’T have to download it to watch it) and thought it was a joke. But really, it wasn’t, and the first half looked horrible. It wasn’t something I could get into, too much too quickly, or something like that. It simply wasn’t engaging.
Though I agree with what’s been said. Heads WILL roll over this.
Fox, meet karma.
HA! HA! LOL! As many people know Tom Rothman is the biggest tool in the entertainment industry. Why he even still has a job at FOX is beyond me! The trash that FOX has released over the past few years is pathetic. If something good comes out of this like Rothman finally getting the boot then hats off to the person who uploaded this workprint! I’ll definitely be downloading this, skimming through the trainwreck and promptly deleting it as it undeniably won’t be worth the space on my HD finished or unfinished.
I don’t care if it leaked! It’s not the finished version anyway!! I’ll be there on May 1st and pay my 10 bucks to watch it!!!!
It’s the real deal. The movie isn’t bad at all. It’s not great but it’s a lot of fun and fans will dig it. Will I be spending $10 on it? Hell no.
I’m waiting for theatres. Hell, even if I did watch this and didn’t like it, I’d still be there on May 1 because this isn’t the finished version and movies can change immensely with a few edits etc. Don’t DL this and wait out the month. *Snickt*
Actually gasped… then laughed and laughed and laughed. Snikt, indeed!
Actually, people who would really watch such a copy is in the minority. The majority pay in some form to watch the finished and better quality version. If this wasn’t true, movies would not be made any more.
OMG! Fox just got owned. That’s what they get for stealing from warner bros. I can’t wait to get home to see this.
