"X-Men Prequel: Wolverine" source material suffered an online leak!
The summer door-opener "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" is set to open nationwide on May 1st and in theaters on May 3rd domestically. Unfortunately, the source of this big movie was leaked online today, and is now quietly spreading on major BT seed sites. The source is in full DVD quality and is the full-length version except for the extra scenes. According to Hitfix, the source is essentially full-length, with only a small amount of unfinished special effects. There are also no timelapses or watermarks, making this a pristine release. This is probably the biggest early leak of a blockbuster in Hollywood movie history. Not to mention the fact that it's not uncommon for Oscar footage to be leaked in advance, but it's also been known to happen in the past. For example, Eli Roth's The Human Skin Inn 2 leaked online a few weeks before its release, and Eli Roth was furious and blamed the leak for the film's eventual box office success. Others, such as Rob Zombie's Halloween and Michael Moore's Sicko, also suffered. But those early leaks can't be compared to X-Men prequel The Wolverine, which 20th Century Fox is hoping will revive its own box office from last year's decline. Add to that the bad word-of-mouth that circulated during the filming of the movie, and "X-Men Prequel: Wolverine" could be in for an undeserved loss at the box office.
