Spoilt brat' Jolie to Fassbender's penis: 6 things we learnt from Sony hack

The hacking of Sony Pictures has taken a humiliating turn for the company after private exchanges, deep secrets, personal opinions and inner employee feuds were released to the public. Hackers sent a message on 24 November that read: “This is just the beginning… we’ve obtained all your internal data including your secrets and top secrets.” Unfortunately for Sony, the effects of their hack are still being felt in much of Hollywood.

Movie producers poked fun at Obama being black Sony Pictures co-chair Amy Pascal in extremely poor taste joked about President Obama’s favorite actors and movies. A  BuzzFeed report, which began with Pascal inquiring what she should ask Obama at a breakfast they’d be attending. And producer Rudin responded: “Would he like to finance some movies.” Pascal replied: “I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” To which Rudin responded: “12 YEARS.” Then they take part in a very idiotic exchange of movies that star black actors. And Rudin finally says, “I bet he likes Kevin Hart.” Pascal apologized on Thursday. Read about it here. 2. Princess Beatrice earns more than a regular intern Princess Beatrice has been earning $30,000 a year while working as an intern at Sony reports the Daily Mail. In the data released, which included Brad Pitt’s phone number, were the pay details of around 6,000 of the company’s staff. One staff member is listed as ‘York, Beatrice’, which is reportedly a reference to the Princess who is sixth in line to the throne in England.

Her job title is listed as intermediate production coordinator, and her home address is recorded as being Windsor, Berkshire.

3. Comments on Michael Fassbender’s penis While considering Michael Fassbender for the Steve Jobs biopic role, Michael DeLuca, president of production at Sony studio Columbia, emailed that the actor’s role in Shame “just makes you feel bad to have normal-sized male genitalia.” Penis envy much DeLuca? Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin knocked Fassbender down a notch in another email to producer Scott Rudin, writing, “I don’t know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn’t going to care.” 4. Even the people who make money off Adam Sandler do not like him Buried in some of Sony’s workplace complaints, some employees expressed concern over the quality of the comedian’s films, Gawker reports. One email suggested the company “stop or reduce support for areas that have no more value (Sandler movies, DVD).” Another was a lot more hurtful: “There is a general ‘blah-ness’ to the films we produce. Althought [sic] we manage to produce an innovative film once in awhile, Social Network, Moneyball, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, we continue to be saddled with the mundane, formulaic Adam Sandler films. Let’s raise the bar a little on the films we produce, and inspire employees that they are working on the next Social Network.” 5. Angelina Jolie as a “spoiled brat with a rampaging ego” According to the email exchange Rudin and Pascal began swearing at each other because Jolie wanted director David Fincher to oversee her remake of Cleopatra instead of a Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin. Rudin, putting his weight behind the Jobs movie, wrote to Pascal: “There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing given the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me)…I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don’t.” He predicted Cleopatra would be an “$180m ego bath and giant bomb” and “career-defining debacle for us both” which would make himself and Pascal the “laughing stock of our industry.” According to the emails Rudin added that he was “not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat” and told Pascal: “You better shut Angie down before she makes it very hard for David to do Jobs.” 6. Tom Hanks, Jessica Alba and Natalie Portman have very bad alter egos The celebrities use aliases to do normal people things. Hanks is “Johnny Madrid,” Tobey Maguire is “Neil Deep,” Jessical Alba is “Cash Money,” Natalie Portman is “Lauren Brown” and Rob Schneider goes by “Nazzo Good.” Those names sound SO normal.
