Former Sony Chief Amy Pascal Fired Because of Angelina Jolie? Cleopatra Film Grabbed for New Venture

By

She's one the highest paid and award winning actress, and yet Angelina Jolie labelled as "minimally talented spoiled brat" in a disclosed email message. This comment from a top rank official of Sony was one the many sensitive details got from Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack incident happened last year. Did the A-list star bashed the email's sender and receiver that happened to be Sony's former Chief Amy Pascal and Producer Scott Rudin?

November 24, 2014 when Sony's data system was hacked by Guardians of Peace, the group of cyber attacker pressed the film outfit to pull out 'The Interview' in cinemas that time. The story of the said movie, starring James Franco and Seth Rogen, revolved in a plan to assassinate North Korea's top leader Kim Jong-un. Though some of GOP's threats didn't prosper even Sony decided to show the film in selected cinemas, most of their past and future confidential data already shared online and Pascal came under fire.

"Angie didn't care," Pascal said about Angelina's reaction in her interview with Tina Brown on February 11 at the Women in the World Conference in San Francisco. "Everybody understood because we all live in this weird thing called Hollywood. If we were all actually were nice, it wouldn't work."

The Sony Chief stepped down from her post three months after the cyber attack. She apologized for the nasty emails that also revealed Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adam's low talent fees compare to their co- stars in 'American Hustle,' Andrew Garfield's status as current Spider-Man, and deemed racist comment about US President Barack Obama.

"I ran this company and I had to worry about everybody who was really scared...People were really scared...But nagging in the back of my mind, I kept calling (the IT department) and being like, 'They don't have our emails, tell me they don't have our emails,'" Pascal shared. "But then they did. That was a bad moment. And you know what you write in emails."

Amy is not totally separated from Sony, she will start new production venture that's financially supported by the company. According to The Guardian, some of the accounts that Pascal's new company will handle are the remake of 'Little Women,' 'Ghostbusters,' and 'Spider-man.' Furthermore, she will also work with Angelina Jolie for her 'Cleopatra' movie.
