Sony hacked emails reveal producer Scott Rudin continuing to slam Angelina Jolie: ‘She's seriously out of her mind’

Details: Published on Friday, 19 December 2014 07:57; Written by NY Daily Newsc

Angelina Jolie has taken another hit in the Sony hacking nightmare.In newly leaked emails between producer Scott Rudin and Sony Pictures Co-chairman Amy Pascal, the 39-year-old actress was allegedly pegged as "seriously out of her mind." The exchange in question, obtained by Defamer, began with Jolie CC'd as the trio went back and forth about who should direct the "Cleopatra" film that she was very eager to make.Names were being digitally tossed around after "Gone Girl's" David Fincher couldn't do it because of Rudin's planned Steve Jobs biopic.When Martin Scorsese was mentioned by Pascal, Jolie apparently wrote, "Let me know if there is anything I should be doing. Like getting on a plane and begging Marty xxx." Jolie's expectations appeared to be squashed again when the emails revealed Scorsese was booked until 2016.According to Defamer, as other Hollywood names were being kicked around including Tomas Alfredson ("Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy") and Ridley Scott ("Exodus: Gods and Kings"), Jolie said she was "studying a few more films to be sure." Rudin reportedly snipped back in private chain to Pascal saying, "Kill me please. Immediately." Pascal and Rudin then made the suggestion to Brad Pitt's wife about basing the picture off of Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra," rather than the original script written by Eric Roth."I've been saying let's do this for a year," Rudin reportedly wrote. "So obviously the best idea. We ought to make this with her and (Michael) Fassbender or (Tom) Hardy or (Benedict) Cumberbatch and go home." "Now we need to convince here (sic)," Pascal responded. "She will be scared to just totally throw out Eric's script."
While Jolie's alleged retort to their attempt was gracious, she didn't seem into the idea."Above all I'm thrilled to hear the passion you both continue to have for this," she said."I would say however that I don't think it's as off as you both do. I think making it a love story could undermined the female leadership and epic that we have built."Rudin then slammed the starlet as "seriously out of her mind" and completely dismissed Pascal's proposing an "in person long conversation" with the three of them."Nooooooo noooooo noooooo please! Not a meeting!" Rudin pleaded.Rudin trashed Jolie as a "minimally talented spoiled brat" in an earlier string of leaked emails by the massive cyber-attack on Sony and has since apologized for his “thoughtless and insensitive” comments.Pascal also issued out a statement responding to the controversy."The content of my emails were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am,” she said last week in a statement."Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended.”The corporation decided to cancel the national release of the Seth Rogen and James Franco's "The Interview" Wednesday after the hackers warned the "bitter fate (of) those who seek fun in terror.""In light of the decision by the majority of our exhibitors not to show the film "The Interview," we have decided not to move forward with the planned Dec. 25 theatrical release. We respect and understand our partners' decision and, of course, completely share their paramount interest in the safety of employees and theater-goers," Sony said in a statement.

Hollywood producer attacks Angelina Jolie as 'spoiled brat with rampaging ego'

Details: Published on Thursday, 11 December 2014 12:24; Written by Telegraph

In embarrassing emails leaked by Sony hackers Scott Rudin, producer of The Social Network and The Queen, claims the star's planned remake of Cleopatra will be an "ego bath" . An Oscar-winning Hollywood producer reportedly attacked Angelina Jolie as a "spoiled brat with a rampaging ego" in leaked emails.Scott Rudin, who produced films including The Social Network, Notes on a Scandal, Moneyball, and The Queen, made the comments in what appear to be a series of angry exchanges with Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment.The studio has been targeted by Guardians of the Peace, a hacking group with suspected links to North Korea, which has obtained and leaked vast amounts of information from Sony's computers.The studio has not commented on whether the emails, which were dated in February and have been widely reported in the film media, were genuine.According to the messages Rudin and Pascal began swearing at each other because Jolie wanted director David Fincher to oversee her planned remake of Cleopatra instead of a Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin. Rudin, pushing 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."Jolie has previously hinted that Cleopatra may be her last acting role before she moves on to become a full-time director.In the email exchanges Rudin also attacked Megan Ellison, the film producer daughter of billionaire Larry Ellison, calling her a "bipolar 28-year-old lunatic."Jolie has not responded but Ellison said on Twitter: "Bipolar 28-year-old lunatic..? I always thought of myself more as eccentric."Variety, the film industry magazine, called the emails "ugly" and did not question their authenticity.It added: "With all of these explosive comments made public it’s possible that crucial relationships involved could be damaged."In the hunt for who is responsible for the hacking suspicion has centred on North Korea.The country has expressed anger over Sony's upcoming release of The Interview, a comedy starring James Franco and Seth Rogen as television journalists recruited by the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un.

Angelina Jolie Stares Down Sony's Amy Pascal After Leaked "Spoiled Brat" Diss

Details: Published on Friday, 12 December 2014 21:37; Written by US magazine

Well, this was either super awkward or they're all good! Angelina Jolie was snapped chatting with a passionate-looking Amy Pascal at The Hollywood Reporter Women in Entertainment Power 100 Breakfast on Wednesday, Dec. 11 — just two days after leaked Sony emails revealed Jolie to be described as a "minimally talented spoiled brat." The Oscar winner, who made a surprise appearance at the event in honor of her upcoming film Unbroken, appeared to be composed while talking to Sony Pictures Entertainment's co-chairwoman. In case you missed it, Pascal was involved in a now-leaked heated email discussion with big-budget producer Scott Rudin about Jolie. The conversation got intense as Pascal and Rudin fought over director David Fincher and the actress. It all came down to the fact that Brad Pitt's wife apparently wanted Fincher to lead her Cleopatra flick around the same time that Rudin planned to use the director for his own Steve Jobs biopic.
"She is upset about us giving [Fincher] Jobs. She wants to talk," Pascal wrote to Rudin, who replied by brushing off the star with: "She'll survive it. I don't want to waste my time on this." Things got real intense when Rudin then wrote in a series of replies: "YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS," "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," "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." Read more of the insults in the leaked emails here.Following the massively embarrassingly leak, which also included emails of Sony execs dissing Kevin Hart, Joel McHale, and President Obama, Pascal released an apology. "The content of my emails to Scott were insensitive and inappropriate but are not an accurate reflection of who I am," she wrote in a statement. "Although this was a private communication that was stolen, I accept full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended."

Parents Willing to Pay Heaps of Money to Clone Angelina Jolie

Details: Published on Sunday, 30 November 2014 17:22; Written by Jezebel

Want a baby to look exactly like Angelina Jolie? The star isn't going to be giving you any of hers anytime soon, but TMZ reports that desperate parents (desperate for their kids to look like Jolie, so rich desperate parents) are willing to pay thousands upon thousands per egg in order to get a little Lara Croft in their lives.TMZ reports that The Daily Bruin ran an ad requesting any Jolie lookalikes to come forward and collect $30,000 for a good egg. The clients are looking for a "tall, slender woman" with "high cheekbones & forehead." The donor must be white. My question is whether this is one pair of Jolie fans trying to bring a bit of movie magic into their homes or many couples trying to build their own Angelina army. Jolie did say she was quitting acting a while ago; is this someone's way of keeping her in the business?

Get your hands on Angelina Jolie’s Christian Louboutin Maleficent shoes

Details: Published on Friday, 08 August 2014 10:02; Written by Telegraph

On a pre-order basis, Christian Louboutin is selling the magical shoes he designed with actress Angelina Jolie for her Maleficent promotional tour.When Angelina Jolie was promoting her Disney film Maleficent earlier this year, all eyes were firmly on her fabulous footwear.The patent, court-like shoes with mesh panels and a sculpted heel made to look like tendrils of smoke, were quickly claimed to be by that French shoe-maker of red-sole fame, Christian Louboutin. Jolie debuted a pair in black, then came white and gold versions as the promotional tour rolled on - each hand-made in Monsieur Louboutin's Paris atelier.And now the good news is that you don't have to be a cloak-wearing villain to own a pair.Christian Louboutin today revealed that the shoes, called Malangeli, were created in collaboration between the designer and the 39-year-old actress and will be sold on a made-to-order basis.The shoes were of course inspired by Jolie's character Maleficent in the film of the same name - a black-sporting fairy who calls herself the Mistress of All Evil. Thus, they feature nude mesh to create 'an illusion of magic' and 'the result is an exclusive shoe that's dark, dangerous and altogether seductive, on the red carpet and off', according to the brand.Available in the UK by calling Christian Louboutin's Mount Street store (020 7491 0033), the shoes retail at £950. Profits from sales will benefit SOS Children's Villages, the world's largest organisation dedicated to orphaned and abandoned children which has been supported by mother-of-six Jolie since 2003.Louboutin was clearly bewitched by his high profile collaborator: "It is exciting to work with someone who has such a strong aesthetic and character. Getting to know Angelina through a fun collaboration has been one of my greatest pleasures!!!"
