Sony Pictures hack: Leo DiCaprio dubbed despicable By LEANNE BAYLEY MONDAY, 15 DECEMBER 2014 The Sony email hacking news is still high on the news agenda. Weve got Leonardo DiCaprio being called despicable, fears of Andrew Garfield being dropped from Spiderman, and an incredible email from Channing Tatum. Plus, an apology email from George Clooney. PA Photos Its widely known that Leonardo DiCaprio was originally supposed to play Steve Jobs but later passed on the upcoming Aaron Sorkin movie. After Leo dropped out, there was an email conversation between the producer Mark Gordon, who wrote: Horrible behavior. Sony co-chairman Amy Pascal agreed, and wrote back: Actually despicable. After the stolen emails scandal, Amy will be getting fired to set an example, a source told the New York Times. Rex Features Everyone is really upset because Amy is beloved and a good person. The anonymous source went on to say that Amy Pascals previously stellar reputation made the emails all the more surprising, and have damaged the company as a whole. It also appears Kanye West is ready for the big screen after it was revealed that someone on Kanyes team sent an email to Sony to let the studios execs know the rapper has a major film project coming up that involves both cinematic and technological innovation. Its unclear what the response was to this. Wenn Another email chain contained an apology from George Clooney to Amy Pascal about his lack of confidence in The Monuments Men. Her reassurance to the Oscar-winner: box office is the best revenge. Rex Features It started with an email from George Clooney to Amy Pascal on 29 January which had a subject line that read: Its getting worse. The email read: I need some protection from all the reviews. Lets just make it a hit. I havent slept in 30 hours. And its 7 am. Amy Pascal promised to make the movie a hit: We will protect you by making money… thats the best revenge. But Clooney appeared to be continued to be plagued by paranoia over the job he did on the movie, writing to Amy Pascal the next day, I adore you Amy. You are literally the only person running a studio that loves film. I fear Ive let you all down. Not my intention. I apologise. Ive just lost touch… Who knew? Sorry. I wont do it again. The latest information obtained by the security breach revealed that Marvel wants complete creative control of the Spider-Man franchise, meaning they would ditch Andrew and start over with a clean slate. Thats right, Andrew Garfield could be ditched as Spiderman. A more light-hearted email to come out of the scandal is one from Channing Tatum which he wrote to co-star Jonah Hill and Amy Pascal after the action-comedys massive June debut gave it the second-biggest opening weekend ever for an R-rated comedy, passing up 2012s Ted.
