'Wolverine' is a great movie - You're fired for saying that

The movie, which focuses on the beginnings of Hugh Jackman's clawed Marvel superhero Wolverine, is not scheduled for release until May 1.

SHOOT: If anything this sort of thing (controversy) gives publicity and adds to the anticipation. Fox isn't being smart about this.

LOS ANGELES – Fox News columnist Roger Friedman is out after posting a story of a leaked full-length work print of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

Fox News said Monday that the company's representatives and Friedman "mutually agreed to part ways immediately."

Friedman was for 10 years a Fox News correspondent and the chief entertainment columnist for Foxnews.com. He wrote in his Fox 411 column Thursday that he watched a print of the movie on the Internet and that the 20th Century Fox superhero prequel "exceeds expectations at every turn."

The early review of the film, which 20th Century Fox described as a "stolen, incomplete and early version," was later removed from the Web site Friday.
