NEW DELHI: Twentieth Century Fox’s superhero film X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been leaked out to the market through online piracy just one month before its world premiere.
The film, directed by South African director Gavin Hood and featuring Hugh Jackman as the lead protagonist, reached out to the market on 14 April.
Fox, along with Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), is now trying to shut down the site which offers downloads of the film apart from tracing down the piracy source.
The online piracy has been a big jolt to the studio’s plans as it has approximately $100 million riding on the project.
Fox is now trying to urge the audience not to view the film online. In a statement Fox said, “The version that made its way around the internet was missing special effects and several scenes, and included temporary sound and music.”
