Trying new marketing, Paramount and Papa John’s have started a new promotion that will have the pizza chain selling pizzas in Transformers-themed boxes as well as giving some customers $3 USD coupons off the upcoming release of the Revenge of the Fallen Blu-ray or DVD.
Buyers of the “Mega XL Pizza” through November 1st will receive the coupon.
“As the temperatures cool down, there’s nothing better than a night at home with dinner and a movie, which is why Papa John’s is making it easier for our customers to purchase the hottest DVD on the shelves,” added Jim Ensign, Papa John’s VP of marketing/communications, via VB. “Our Mega XL Pizza will feed the whole family, while the coupon to purchase Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen ensures a great evening of entertainment.”

One month before its theatrical release, a workprint version of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been leaked online, and is seeing huge downloads as I type.
The film, being a “workprint”, has some special effects missing, as well as the occasional view of wires still attached to actors during action scenes. Although unconfirmed, some are reporting that the leaked version is missing some of the director’s re-shoots. We probably won’t know until next month however what is missing.
The film was supposed to compete with other blockbuster fare such as Star Trek and Transformers 2 but poor reviews of the film based on the leaked version may kill that buzz.
The more important question may be, at least from 20th Century Fox’s perspective, is where the leak came from. There is a small caption at the beginning of the video that says ‘Rising Sun Pictures’ and is dated from last month.
Rising Sun Pictures is an Australian visual effects company that worked on editing the film, and is currently working on the upcoming blockbuster Terminator Salvation. There is no evidence however to support that RSP was involved in the leak.
20th Century Fox has yet to comment publicly on the leak.
