I guess this is old news by now, but I just heard about it yesterday.

From MSNBC,

LOS ANGELES - “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” isn’t due in theaters until next month, but the prequel has already hacked its way online.

A high-quality, full-length work print of the 20th Century Fox film, which is set for release May 1, appeared online Tuesday. The film focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman’s clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine.

Fox said in a statement Wednesday the version of the film posted online was not complete and vowed that the source would be prosecuted. It said the FBI and MPAA are investigating.

Wow, that is really bad. I imagine this might ignite a new spark against filesharing. When the Hulk was released in crap quality a week before its release, I laughed it off. But this! I know it is only a work print, but an entire month in DVD quality! Ouch!

I am fully expecting the film to be considerably worse than X-Men 3, and had no intention of going to see it (where when The Last Stand came out I couldn't wait to go see it opening day. Had that not been the turd it was, I'd probably be excited about this one too), now if this movie bombs at the box office, they have a fantastic excuse for it. :(

LOL, and a guy from Fox News watched the thing and reviewed it on his blog. He even went on and on in amazement about how easier it was, how all the top box office movies were available, and that watching them on the computer was better than getting out in the rain. Idiot.

Ahhh, the internets! Mankind's finest creation.
