Re: Sony
This isn't something that is just relegated to Sony - there's tons of e-mails and dialogues like what transpired from Scott Rudin's e-mails that are just as bad or worse at any other studio - the stuff that Harvey Weinstein was rumored to have said or Joel Silver makes Scott Rudin's stuff seem kind of tone deaf and petty by comparison.
You're dealing with a lot of creative types with huge egos and access to insane amounts of money. Crazy shit is going to ensue in that kind of environment - and similar shit is par for the course in the film/entertainment industry. This leak is more the work of a disgruntled employee who probably got let go when they did the huge cutbacks not that long ago who probably got in contact with some hackers that could do the job for him (or possibly sold the information to them, as the group - Guardians of the Peace - were trying to blackmail Sony into paying them for not releasing the info).
The Interview movie has been kicking around for some time - it was supposed to be about Kim Jong Il, but when he died, they re-wrote it and replaced him with Kim Jong Un. They were pretty much banking on Seth Rogen and James Franco's bankability on name recognition and success with Pineapple Express and This Is The End (which I'm hearing The Interview doesn't even come close to approaching)
I do find three things amusing about this - one being that Sony is more dismayed by the lack of interest in downloading Annie illegally than they were than the leaked torrent itself, the idea of how awkward a meeting will be between the guy and the girl who do the same job and she's getting $1 million dollars less than him, and finally the internal feedback where employees universally were saying how they really don't want to make another Adam Sandler movie.
If they can stop Adam Sandler from making more shitty movies or him making a movie around his vacations (ie. Grown Ups 1 and 2, Blended) - there is some good that can come from this.
