Effects company denies leaking 'Wolverine' online (AP)

LOS ANGELES - An Australian visual effects company that worked on " X-Men Origins: Wolverine " said Thursday it was not responsible for leaking a full-length work print online.
The company's name — Rising Sun Pictures — appears in a caption dated March 2 a few minutes into the high-quality leaked copy of the 20th Century Fox superhero movie .
"As we worked on individual sequences within the film, neither Rising Sun Pictures or its staff members have ever been in possession of a full-length version, so it would have been impossible for the movie to have been leaked from here," Rising Sun Pictures chairman and co-founder Tony Clark said in a statement posted on the company's Web site Thursday.
The "prequel, which focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman 's clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine , is not scheduled for release until May 1, but the leaked version began appearing online Tuesday evening. Fox said in a statement Wednesday that it had the original file removed, but copies quickly propagated and continue to appear on several file-sharing Web sites.
According to Rising Sun Pictures' Web site, the visual effects company had been tasked with producing "a number of key effects sequences" in "Wolverine." Rising Sun Pictures is also working on the upcoming " Terminator Salvation " film and had previously created effects for " Watchmen ," "Australia," " Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince " and " Get Smart ."
Fox vowed Wednesday that the source of the "stolen, incomplete and early version" of the movie would be prosecuted and said the FBI and MPAA are investigating the leak. The studio also insisted that the version of "Wolverine" posted online had been forensically marked and "was without many effects, had missing and unedited scenes and temporary sound and music."

WOLVERINE---LEAKED ONLINE

NEW YORK, April 2 (UPI) -- An investigation is under way into how the unfinished movie "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was leaked online, the movie's distributor says.

The FBI and the Motion Picture Association of America are investigating the leak, which led to thousands of people seeing a version of the Hugh Jackman flick on the Internet Tuesday, a month before it is to hit theaters, The New York Times reported.

The Times quoted 20th Century Fox, the movie's distributor, as saying it doesn't know how the leak occurred. The version that appeared online didn't have its final special effects, sound or music, the newspaper said.

Eric Garland, the chief executive of the file-sharing monitoring company BigChampagne, described this week's mass downloading of a working copy of "Wolverine" as a "one-of-a-kind case."

"We've never seen a high-profile film -- a film of this budget, a tent-pole movie with this box office potential -- leak in any form this early," Garland told the Times.

"The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Fox said, adding "the courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts in the past."

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Robots Revealed

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' Robots Revealed

by Matt McDaniel



Excitement around "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," the sequel to the enormously successful 2007 movie, has been building steadily since we got our first glimpse of the action in the ad that played during the Super Bowl. Two weeks later the trailer was released, and it looked like director Michael Bay wasn't lying when he promised bigger and badder robots than in the first flick.

Now, to get the fans even more energized, Paramount Pictures has released to us the full list of all the giant robots that will appear in the new movie. Plus we have new photos with first looks at two of the evil Decepticons that will battle the heroic Autobots when the movie hits theaters this summer.

Starscream and Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) in DreamWorks/Paramount Pictures' Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen - 2009

AUTOBOTS

# OPTIMUS PRIME: The Autobots' leader - alternate form: Peterbilt truck.
# IRONHIDE: Weapons specialist - GMC Topkick.
# RATCHET: Medic - Hummer H2.
# BUMBLEBEE: Friend and mode of transportation for Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) - 2010 Chevorlet Camaro.
# ARCEE: A female Autobot - motorcycle.
# JETFIRE: An older Decepticon who switches sides - SR71 Blackbird jet.
# JOLT: the original toy was a Decepticon, but in the movie he's a good guy - Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid.
# SKID & MUDFLAP: a.k.a. "The Twins" - Chevrolet Beat and Trax concept cars.


DECEPTICONS

# STARSCREAM: Formerly Megatron's second in command, he escaped at the end of the first movie F-22 Raptor jet.
# SCORPONOK: The mechanical scorpion that attacked the American troops in the desert.
# THE FALLEN: One of the original Transformers, he's called "the most elemental bad guy" by the screenwriters.
# SIDEWAYS: The Audi R8 seen crashing through a building in the trailer.
# SOUNDWAVE: A cassette player in the original toys; his alternate mode will fly.
# RAVAGE: A four-legged, cat-like robot (see photo).
# THE DOCTOR: Alternate form has not been announced.
# WHEELIE: A small, radio-controlled truck.
# DEMOLISHER: One of the Constructicons that transform into construction vehicles.
# DEVASTATOR: A giant robot formed by the Constructicons joining together; individually, they are: Scavenger, Scrapper, Hightower, Longhaul, Rampage, Overload and Mixmaster.


Noticeably absent from the list is the Decepticon leader, Megatron, who was killed at the end of the previous movie and last seen being dumped in the ocean. Michael Bay denied that Megatron is in the movie, but actor Hugo Weaving said in an interview that he had recorded dialogue for the part. We'll see if and how he returns when "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" opens on June 24th.
