Sony Hack reveals discussion with Marvel for Spider-Man franchise

http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/12/09/sony-marvel-discussed-spider-man-movie-crossover/

Quote:
Sony Pictures suffered a large hack Nov. 24, which has resulted in the release of a slew of private emails, sensitive information about 47,000 employees and financial data to be released.

According to emails released, the studio and Marvel owner Disney have discussed teaming up to have the superhero show up in Captain America.

The emails were sent to and from Sony motion picture chief Amy Pascal, and included correspondences with Sony CEO Kaz Hirai and Disney CEO Bob Iger.

An Oct. 30 email from Sony Pictures president Doug Belgrad to Pascal discussed the possibility of Marvel producing a new Spider-Man trilogy that would see Sony retain “creative control, marketing and distribution.”

Sadly, these talks apparently broke down, and a "Spidey Summit" is planned for January which will see Sony decide where to take the franchise next.

Among other things, the studio has desperately tried to bring back Sam Raimi (who directed the original Spider-Man movies) to return as a director or a producer.

Also projects in development are an animated Spider-Man comedy that would be produced by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the team behind “22 Jump Street”, as well as previously disclosed Spider-Man spin-offs focused on villain team Sinister Six, super-foe Venom, and women from the webslinger’s life including a rumored solo movie for Aunt May.

Sony moved its next Amazing Spider-Man film from 2016 to 2018 after The Amazing Spider-Man 2 failed to meet box office expectations.


Unreleased Sony Films Leaked Online

The hackers managed to leak files of major Sony films that are set to be released this year, including "Annie", "Mr. Turner", and "Still Alice".

They made ONE "good" Spiderman movie in Spiderman 1 and one "okay" movie in the first of the reboot series. Enough of this garbage.

Really sucks that Spider-Man "crossover" talks fell through. Eventually, Fox or Sony will probably get a deal to combine IPs with Disney. All studios should benefit if they can keep control of marketing, distribution, etc.

Maybe I'll get to see a Secret Wars movie in my lifetime!

Spider-Man was maybe my favorite comic book hero when I was a kid (dropped the comics after they retconned In Gwen Stacy sleeping with Norman Osborne and bearing his twins, which was so stupid and infuriating a character assassination it ruined my enjoyment of comics in general for a long while), but in a lot of ways it's probably good that Sony has the rights to Xmen and Spider-Man. It forced Marvel to access their deeper catalogue rather than just their two premier franchises and gave us a more diversified world. But now that the Marvel Movie Universe has been established, it would be awesome if Marvel regained the properties and could work them in. Sony hasn't done too well with at least the Spider-man franchise recently.

Animated Spider-Man comedy? Don't they already have one with the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series? I'm only half joking. Those of you who've seen Ultimate Spider-Man know what I'm talking about.

UPDATE: MORE!

Sony planning a 22 Jump Street Crossover with Men In Black (No Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones)

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/12/10/sony-planning-a-jump-street-men-in-black-crossover

Quote:
The leaked emails between execs and talent, including Jump Street stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, reveal that all involved are eager to make it happen. The crossover would also essentially "reinvigorate" the MiB franchise after the lukewarm response to Men in Black 3.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Jump Street makers Chris Miller and Phil Lord are producing the crossover movie and may also direct it. Sony wants the film fast-tracked for a 2016 or 2017 release.

The movie will likely NOT involve Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.

In an e-mail to (studio boss Amy Pascal), Mr. Hill says 'jump street merging with mib i think that’s clean and rad and powerful.'

In another e-mail, Hannah Minghella, a president of production for Sony’s Columbia Pictures label, says of the joint sequel, 'We DON'T have a script yet so we’ll be greenlighting the movie off the concept and the talent involved.

I think it's good that most of these ideas were/are only bandied about through internal e-mails cause, like the fappening, some of them are embarrassing. Another Spider-man trilogy? An animated spider-man comedy cartoon? An MiB x 22 jump street crossover?

Sounds like the MiB x 22JS crossover is happening, it's already been greenlit despite not having a script.

A studio exec's job is to make money and people watch sequels, reboots, etc.

Hell... why not Will Smith as Steve Jobs?

Whenever Jobs is angry or flustered he could do that thing where he just stands there moving his head around mumbling to himself.

Head of Sony caught with racist jokes about Obama, and other Actors

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/12/11/sony-hack-execs-make-racist-jokes-about-barack-obama-listers-slam-those/

Quote:
More incriminating personal information was leaked Wednesday following the unprecedented Sony Pictures hack, this time in the form of emails between top producers and executives belittling a number of major stars and projects, and even making racist jokes about President Barack Obama.

In one email exchange, Sony co-chairperson Amy Pascal -- a prominent Democratic party donor and Obama supporter -- asked movie producer Scott Rudin ahead of a fundraiser what she should ask the President "at this stupid Jeffrey (Katzenberg) breakfast," to which Rudin quipped "would he like to finance some movies."

"I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?" Pascal responded, Rudin then retorted: "12 Years."

It goes on.

"Or the butler, or think like a man?" Pascal continued, to which Rudin wrote: "Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart."

Hart was also called a "whore" by another executive in another leaked exchange for requesting more money.

In other exchanges between Pascal and Rudin, Angelina Jolie was called a “spoiled brat,” and unflattering comments were made about everyone from Tom Cruise, David Fincher, Aaron Sorkin, and Adam Sandler.

Because of the leaks, Sony executives are no longer corresponding via email but through text messages in an effort to avoid further information exposure, a well placed studio source told FOX411. It is being internally suggested that the studio may now have to pay its top-tier talent three times what they would have otherwise paid as “damage control” to lure them back.
