Sony email hack whirlpool has now revealed a set of emails in which actor George Clooney begged Sony’s Amy Pascal to make his last year flop film “The Monuments Men”, which he had also co-written, into a hit.
Saying he hasn’t slept for 30 hours, Clooney apparently wrote in an email to Pascal to protect against bad reviews.
“Let’s just make it a hit,” he is known to have written.
“The Monuments Men”, which released in 2014, failed to garner good reviews, despite starring names like Bill Murray, George Clooney, Matt Damon, and John Goodman.
Clooney seemed to be blaming himself for the movie’s failure in many ways. He wrote that he had let everyone down, for which he apologized.
“We will protect you by making money… that’s the best revenge,” Pascal wrote in reply.
Strangely, Pascal has been the entire focus of the hack. Pascal’s reply to Clooney didn’t come to be true because the film made average money at domestic box office.
The new revelation is embarrassing Sony for the longest time with extremely sensitive material being leaked.
In another leak, emails between Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin, Angelina Jolie was named, while choices of President Obama in movies were mocked at.
Jolie and Pascal came face to face at an event this week, after a day when Rudin and Pascal had both apologized for hurting anyone unintentionally.
It remains to be seen if Clooney or Pascal make any statement regarding the same.
