Just days away from opening in thousands of theaters across the country, X-Men Origins: Wolverine continues to contend with lingering curiosity over the scandal that erupted last month when a bootleg copy of the film appeared online. At Wolverine's L.A. premiere on Tuesday night, producer Lauren Shuler Donner told EW that the person or people responsible for the leak still haven't been caught. "We may never figure out who did it, and that pisses me off," she said. "It's hard enough in this economy to get these types of films made, and if enough people bootleg and don't go to the theater, we won't be able to make these movies anymore." In the meantime, industry sages are focusing their energies on preventing future leaks of this magnitude. "I don't know how we protect ourselves," Shuler Donner said. "Studios are working on it, and 3D keeps getting mentioned because you can't download 3D. But I don't want to make every movie in 3D. We gotta figure something out because it will kill the industry if what happened to us starts happening to everybody."
If it's any consolation, I know many fans will still watch the final, big-screen version.
