Hidden Surprises Promised for 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine'

From: AceShowbiz.com

Despite the fact that the unfinished copy of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" final cut has made its rounds earlier, director Gavin Hood insisted that the pirated version hasn't contained everything. In a recent interview with Wizard magazine, the 45-year-old filmmaker revealed that there are still plenty of hidden surprises in store.

"Don't leave before the credits are over," the "Rendition" helmer explained of where to seek the surprises. "Now I say that and I better not be in trouble, because you do realize that I'm not done with the editing process and the studio still has to sign off on everything. But, yes, Hugh [Jackman] and I have a couple Easter eggs somewhere in there."

Back on April 1, reports were surfacing that a workprint version of "Wolverine" has been leaked and available for download on several bittorrent sites since Tuesday, March 31. Soon after, 20th Century Fox came up with a statement confirming the story as well as revealing their intention to pursue the source of the initial leak.

Taking the focus of the story on the metal-clawed mutant Wolverine, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" serves as a prequel to the "X-Men" trilogy. It chronicles the violent and romantic early life of the titular character, including his participation on the Weapon X program and his complex relationship with Victor Creed.

The action fantasy stars Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth, Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool and Danny Huston as William Stryker among others. Penned by David Benioff, it has been set to open in U.S. theaters on May 1.
