WOLVERINE PIRATE WILL BE FOUND, SAYS PRODUCER

John Palermo, a producer of X-Men Origins Wolverine , predicted today (Friday) that whoever uploaded an incomplete copy of the movie onto the Internet will be found and prosecuted. "I can assure you we will hunt them and track them down and we are actually very close," Palermo told the Sydney (Australia) Daily Telegraph . Lee is a partner with actor Hugh Jackman and Jackman's wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, in Seed Productions,which produced the film. Meanwhile speculation that the Australian special-effects firm Rising Sun Productions may have been the source of the leak was quashed when the company said that it had never been in possession of a completed copy of the film. But CNET News observed that numerous other outside firms -- from toy companies to advertisers -- need access to a work print before a movie is released. It quoted a source as saying that studios are "only as safe as the partner company's last hire."
