Hugh Jackman Not Happy with X-Men Origins: Wolverine Leak

A few days ago we reported that a copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has leaked to p2p networks a month before its official release. Hugh Jackman, the film’s leading star, was very upset ("heartbroken," in his own words) about the leaking and it a "serious crime".

Jackman was busy promoting his latest film and took time to comment on the misfortunate leaking of an unfinished version of it which he compared to a "Ferrari without a paint job". "There's no doubt it's very disappointing. Obviously people are seeing an unfinished film," Jackman said.

The actor tried to impress his fans with a spectacular apparition at Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour (almost dangling from a helicopter) and later he also showed them 20 minutes of finished footage at the location where a main part of the film was shot.

According to BBC News, a journalist for Fox News was sacked earlier this week for posting a review of the film after viewing the illegal downloaded copy of it.
