Lemon of the Week: 20th Century Fox

Date:

Lemon of the Week IONCINEMA.com

You have to feel sorry for Gavin Hood and Hugh Jackman who will, in only a few weeks from now, get to field questions about the incompetence behind a studio’s security system. I could have easily given the Lemon of the Week to the individual(s) who lifted an incomplete, working copy of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and leaked it online, but instead, I’m awarding the honour to 20th Century Fox. It will be a case study for years to come on in-house supervision, and if there is a positive in this theft is that the “art” or “mainstream movies for the masses” should receive the same kind of supervision as museums do when they safeguard their painting collections.
