Us Weekly has a series of leaked emails from George Clooney to Sony Pictures chair Amy Pascal. All of the e-mails are fairly guarded and carefully worded. Some choice exerpts from the e-mails: "The stakes are higher than citizen kane...if we tell the truth in a compelling way...rupert [Murdoch] wont' (sic) get time/warner...cnn won't be fox...I'm so excited to do this film..."
And Clooney fully expected to get hacked: "And for those of you listening in...I'm the son of a news man...everything will be double sourced...so come on with your lawsuits...fuckers..."
Clooney's emails seem to point the finger at Rupert Murdoch, who has famously behind the huge British phone hacking scandal. George Clooney is on board to direct Hack Attack about Rupet Murdoch and the hacking scandal for Sony Pictures; that news was reported by Variety back in September.
