Angelina Jolie described as a 'minimally talented spoiled brat' in leaked Sony e-mails

This article is more than 12 months old

Bizarre information involving Sony Pictures has hit the Internet, including an e-mail conversation involving the entertainment company's co-chairman in which Angelina Jolie was called a brat.

The e-mails were just some of the information released by hacker group Guardians of Peace, who have allegedly obtained 100 terabytes of information from the company.

Reports about the hacking incident first emerged on Nov 24.

Since then, the hackers, believed to be from North Korea, have been leaking some juicy information like the e-mail conversation between producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures co-chairman Amy Pascal about Jolie.

It is believed that Jolie was against director David Fincher being involved in Sony's Steve Jobs biopic and wanted him to direct her forthcoming Cleopatra movie.

In an e-mail about the Cleopatra film and Jolie, Rudin told Pascal:

"I've told you exactly how I want to do this material. It's the ONLY way I want to do this material. I'm not remotely interested in presiding over a $180m ego bath that we both know will be the career-defining debacle for us both. I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don't. She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming. We will end up being the laughing stock of our industry and we will deserve it, which is so clearly where this is headed that I cannot believe we are still wasting our time with it."

He also added: "YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS". 

Sony has not confirmed if the e-mails are legitimate. 

Other revelations include Rudin calling American Hustler producer Megan Ellison a "bipolar 28 year old lunatic” and plans for a collaboration between Jump Street and Men in Black for 2016 or 2017.
