More emails have appeared online from the hackers that launched a cyberattack on Sony, and Angelina Jolie's name has popped up once more as producer Scott Rudin allegedly called her "out of her mind," E! News reported.
Jolie was first dragged into the scandal when the first batch of leaked emails showed Rudin calling her a "spoiled brat" among many insulting comments for asking David Fincher to direct her film rather than the upcoming Jobs biopic.
Now the saga continues as more leaked emails obtained by Gawker showed the conversations between Rudin, Jolie and Sony executive Amy Pascal involving the project film "Cleopatra."
It allegedly started back in November 2013 when screenwriter Eric Roth submitted a draft for "Cleopatra" that the trio loved. Rudin then asked Jolie if they could start production by Jan. 5 of this year, to which Jolie replied that there were still some things in the script that she needed to "clean up" and "enhance," even adding that she reread the book and was talking to philosophy teachers to helped her with the film.
As plans to meet kept getting sidelined due to busy schedules, Rudin emailed Pascal at one point, saying Jolie was "an actress for hire, not Cleopatra."
When Roth submitted another draft come February, Rudin slammed Jolie, saying, "She will like it CUZ there is barely any vulnerability left in her character and she now seems responsible for everything that ever happened."
Come March of this year when it became clear that Director David Fincher will not be able to direct the film as per Jolie's wishes, Pascal and Rudin then started pitching other choices of directors to Jolie, according to The Independent.
At one point Rudin wrote to Pascal, "Kill me please. Immediately."
When July rolled around, Rudin and Pascal have turned to convincing Jolie to recreate the movie as a love story instead based on Shakespeare's play "Anthony and Cleopatra."
Jolie declined saying she believed it could "undermine the female leadership and epic that we have built." She also added, "And I think we continue to discuss with great directors."
It was then that Rudin wrote to Pascal saying, "She's seriously out of her mind," and expressed his opinion on meeting with Jolie by writing, "Nooooooo noooooo noooooo please! Not a meeting!"
Pascal and Rudin previously issued apologies for the first batch of leaked emails, while Jolie has kept mum on the issue. With these new leaks, it remains to be seen if and how the trio are going to respond to the issue.
The "Cleopatra" film is still ongoing though, according to Gawker, as Jolie is reportedly aiming for 2016.
