WOLVERINE - JOURNALIST SUES OVER X-MEN FIRING

JOURNALIST SUES OVER X-MEN FIRING

The journalist who was fired because he reviewed a leaked version of movie X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE is suing his former bosses for $5 million (£3 million).
Fox columnist Roger Friedman lost his job after the scandal earlier this year (09), in part because the Fox News and X-Men studios 20th Century Fox shares the same parent company, Rupert Murdoch's News Corp.
Friedman, who now writes for the Hollywood Reporter, alleges his firing was illegal, and is seeking more than $5 million in lost wages and damages, reports the Hollywood Reporter.
A spokesperson for Fox News tells the L.A. Times the company has yet to be informed of the lawsuit.
