FBI called in over Wolverine leak

The FBI are investigating the online leak of an almost finished copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, a month before the film's cinema release.
The Hugh Jackman film was downloaded an estimated several 100,000 times from file sharing websites on Tuesday.
20th Century Fox confirmed the copy had now been removed and the FBI informed.
The studio behind Wolverine stated: "The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
"The courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts" the studio noted.
'Stolen and incomplete'
Both the FBI and the Motion Picture Association of America are "actively investigating" the crime.
The film is not due for release until 29 April in the UK and 1 May in the US.
Fox called the leaked movie a "stolen, incomplete and early version".
Viewers reported that green screens and wires attached to actors were still visible.
One user wrote on film website aintitcool.com: "The CGI is missing and the movie looks horrible without it.

Forensically marked'

A statement from the studio said that once the film was discovered online they "immediately contacted the appropriate legal authorities and had it removed".
The studio added that because their content is forensically marked they should be able to trace the person who uploaded it.
A brief caption at the beginning of the film reads 'Rising Sun Pictures' and is dated 2 March, 2009.
According to its website, Rising Sun Pictures is an Australian visual effects company that worked on the film and is currently working on production of Terminator Salvation.
However, there is no evidence to suggest the company was involved in the leak.
The Federation Against Copyright Theft said a leak of this kind was extremely unusual as pre-release security had been tightened in recent years.

Access to a whole film is severely restricted, with post production workers being given small portions of the movie to work on and measures put in place to stop it being copied on to disc.
