A Hollywood producer is under fire after a leaked e-mail conversation revealed really nasty jabs aimed at Angelina Jolie ..The conversation which was between studio exec Amy Pascal and iconic producer Scott Rudin,(Curious case of Benjamin Button amongst others)was about the company producing a Steve Jobs’s biopic to be directed by iconic director David Fincher .
Angelina Jolie instead wanted to discourage the studio from using Fincher on the Steve Jobs movie, so he could direct her own version of Cleopatra which she was to star in ..

Producer, Scott Rudin would have none of that and put her on blast ,calling her "Minimally Talented"
The Sony studio exec Amy told Rudin in a leaked e-mail dated February 27.

'[exec, Jolie] is upset about us giving david jobs she wants to talk,'Scott replied..
'She’ll survive it. I don’t want to waste my time on this.'YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY
HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS.’There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me) and if you won’t tell her that you do not like the script — which, let me remind you, SHE DOESN’T EITHER — this will just spin even further out in Crazyland but let me tell you I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don’t.'Amy replied
You know Eric and she have always wanted David and I have been the one saying no for two years. I have asked you to talk to her with me and you don't want to deal with it.'
Scott replied harshly
'If you engage in this again, we will end up losing Fincher on the one we want him to do and will be stuck with shoving him onto a movie with no script that, underneath it all, you know in your heart and your brain should never be made,'
'I'm not remotely interested in presiding over a $180m ego bath that we both know will be the career-defining debacle for us both.
'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. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don't.'
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.At the end ,Fincher ended up not directing Steve Jobs movie which starred Ashton Kutcher and was a big flop...
'We will end up being the laughing stock of our industry and we will deserve it, which is so clearly where this is headed that I cannot believe we are still wasting our time with it.’
Another set of emails that leaked reveal that Kevin Hart received $3million to do his last film for the studio, likely Think Like a Man Too, and that his team demanded more money for him to promote the movie on social media.
This did not sit well with studio executive Clint Culpepper, who wrote to Pascal in an email, 'It's not as if we paid him 3M and 4M respectively for his last 2 films thinking he might be nominated. We paid for his ability to open a film which included his social media savvy.'
He then calls Hart a 'whore.'
