Piracy and actual spilled blood have marked the rough road to the big screen for X-Men Origins: Wolverine. So it's understandable that cast and crew members at Saturday's press conference on the 20th Century Fox lot were both excited and relieved about the movie's looming release.
"It was a huge shock for all of us when someone stole the movie," said director Gavin Hood, referring to last month's online leak of an unfinished work print of Wolverine. "It's like reaching out to you guys and grabbing your (reporter's) notebooks and saying, 'I'm going to publish whatever you've written, right now. I know you're not done, but we'll just shove it out there and see what people think of your work.'"
Hood said he was "crushed" by the illegal online preview of the film, which tells the back story of Wolverine, a mutant with superhuman strength, amazing healing powers and indestructible metal claws. But Hood admitted he will be relieved to see the finished version arrive in theaters Friday.
"Any piece of work is molded and shaped until you feel ready to offer it to the public, knowing that you will be judged on that work," he said. "I'm thrilled that it's finally out there in the form that we wanted -- on a big screen."
