These hacked Sony emails just keep getting worse, don't they? Not only are Sony execs making racist jokes about the President and refusing to let Spider-Man into "Captain America: Civil War" (Sony, HOW COULD YOU), but now they've moved on to even more sensitive a subject.
Michael Fassbender's penis.
According to TMZ, various Sony executives were discussing Aaron Sorkin's upcoming Steve Jobs biopic in one email conversation. Yet, for some reason (that's either not quite clear or extremely clear), producer Michael de Luca brought the subject around to what Fassbender is packing in his pants.
"He makes you feel bad to have normal sized male genitalia,"said De Luca in the email. Seriously though, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Jobs movie, unless it's about a secret time in Jobs life where he lived in a nudist colony, or swore off pants for an entire year.
Sorkin had especially unkind words for Fassbender, however: "I don't know who Michael Fassbender is and the rest of the world isn't going to care." Which is a little baffling, considering that Sorkin works in the film industry, and should probably have some kind of bearing on an actor from "12 Years a Slave" and "Shame."
Sorkin, according to the New York Daily News, was fighting for Tom Cruise to get the role of the Apple visionary. Cruise, according to Sorkin, "can really handle language" and "feels comfortable owning the stage."
Ars Technica has further emails from Sorkin about the possibility of Cruise playing Steve Jobs
"I just got off the phone with Danny [Boyle] who's concerned about the age but I think I got him thinking about it and he's going to look at some scenes from Lions for Lambs where Tom's basically auditioning for Jobs. He's also concerned that the choice will be met with derision because it's such a commercial choice but I honestly think that ends up working for us. Tom's going to surprise some people and they'll want to reward that."
