Fox Chairman Speaks About "Wolverine" Leak

Last Tuesday an unfinished version of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" has been leaked onto the Internet for fans to download. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, 20th Century Fox chairman Tom Rothman has this to say:

"The version that went out is unfinished. It's about 10 minutes shorter, doesn't have key scenes, it wasn't edited, and none of the effects shots were in any remotely final form. It's a complete misrepresentation of the film and is deeply unfair to the people who have worked on it for years."

Rothman also says that the FBI is zeroing in on the culprits and he feels confident that they'll be able to name the perpetrators soon. Early reports named Rising Sun Pictures, an Australian special effects house that worked on the movie, as a possible suspect due to a watermark with their logo on some scenes. However, they have denied any wrongdoing and claim to only have in possession individual sections of the film, not the complete print. Regardless, this incident will most certainly change the way the studio does business with special effects houses and post production facilities in the future.
