Must of us by now have heard about the X-Men Origins: Wolverine leak and that the whole movie is online for pretty much anyone to download right now. The film is incomplete with unfinished effects and Tom Rothman at Fox insisted a ton of footage was missing and that the run time was longer on the final cut.
It turns that the run time is exactly the same thing, 107 minutes, though there supposedly are a couple additions and subtractions scene wise in the movie.The really absurd news came out yesterday via FirstShowing.net who talked to director Gavin Hood. He talked up the film and the usual Marvel easter eggs (like Stan "The Man" Lee showing up quite often) and dropped this little tidbit:
"They've hidden multiple secret endings on different prints and theaters will be showing different versions."
Yes you have read that right, it is an exact quote. No information was given as to how many different endings there are or how long they are though Dark Horizons theorizes they may be just a minute or so but seemingly have no basis for why they think that.
I dealt with the stupidity that Fox threw at us with X3. In fact, I just got the Blu-ray trilogy set as getting 1&2 that way was cheaper even though I could do without X3. But now we have Fox gimmicking Wolverine? Lets take a look at complaints just from the early footage shown so far, and no, I have NOT watched the workprint.
1. WTF are half the X-men in this for? Cyclops? Emma Frost? - stupid
2. Deadpool trying his best to be a shark with lasers on his head -appalling
3. Deadpool looking like a reject from ancient tattoo loving empire and no costume -screw off
4. Gambit being a part of Weapon-X takes seriously liberties with his origin
5. Professor X having anything to do with this movie - um no
6. MULTIPLE SECRET ENDINGS! - wtfux I will not pay to see them all
None of these are "movie killers" and it possible some may make the movie better. But for a fan of the comic, movies, cartoon, these points are a bit disheartening.
I haven't decided if I am going to see this in the theater yet. As much as I love the cigar-smoking, adamantium-laced canuck I hate when stories are unnecessarily tinkered with and commercialized.
Spare the spoilers if you have seen the bootleg please. You guys seeing this in the theater or waiting for DVD?

I'm not going to see it, just because Jew Lee is in it.

That one wasn't that funny.
And there is no one named Lee in the flick, who the hell are you talking about?

You're right, for some reason I read that as he was in it.
Well avi arad is producing, that should be enough not to go see it.

Ive seen the bootleg movie. Let me just say, they REALLY REALLY ****** up Deadpool/Wade Wilson's story. I sure hope that the edits and changes from the unfinished to the finished version completely changes the ending, but I doubt that is possible without reshooting most of the movie. Not to mention the origins of alot of other super heroes being completely different in this movie compared to the original writing.
It was ok untill it got to the end. Then it went totally off track. Very disappointing. Especially being a Deadpool fan, very disappointing.

I'll check all 3 endings out on Pirate Bay in the near future. Are they all "happy endings"?
