The unfinished workprint of ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’ that leaked just a few days ago has already made its way to the computers of more than a million BitTorrent users. Unsurprisingly, the film leads our weekly chart of the ten most downloaded movies on BitTorrent.
Earlier this week an unfinished copy of the highly anticipated “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie leaked online. Fox is expecting a financial disaster and has called in the FBI to find out where the leak originated. We’re wondering if the leak will actually hurt the film’s success, or might the opposite be true?
April 1st is a very tough day to report big, controversial news – if you want to be believed that is. Fact: The new X-Men movie has leaked to BitTorrent and Fox won’t be laughing. The movie is unfinished with many special effects yet to be added. Fingers are already being pointed toward the possible source of the leak and downloads are already more than 75,000.
