Hollywood producer attacks Angelina Jolie as 'spoiled brat with rampaging ego'

In embarrassing emails leaked by Sony hackers Scott Rudin, producer of The Social Network and The Queen, claims the star's planned remake of Cleopatra will be an "ego bath"

An Oscar-winning Hollywood producer reportedly attacked Angelina Jolie as a "spoiled brat with a rampaging ego" in leaked emails.

Scott Rudin, who produced films including The Social Network, Notes on a Scandal, Moneyball, and The Queen, made the comments in what appear to be a series of angry exchanges with Amy Pascal, co-chair of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The studio has been targeted by Guardians of the Peace, a hacking group with suspected links to North Korea, which has obtained and leaked vast amounts of information from Sony's computers.

The studio has not commented on whether the emails, which were dated in February and have been widely reported in the film media, were genuine.

According to the messages Rudin and Pascal began swearing at each other because Jolie wanted director David Fincher to oversee her planned remake of Cleopatra instead of a Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin.

Rudin, pushing the Jobs movie, wrote to Pascal: "There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing given the insanity and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me)...I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don't."

Ah, artists. Can’t wait to see “Unbroken” and I have liked her work. Don’t know any rich people (talent, treasure, or intelligence-the worst offenders) who are not affected. It isn’t only our cargo that has to be stripped off the camel before going through the eye of a needle. Moses was great because he was the most humble. Imagine being so humble you could see the back of God and live.

I thought she was more conservative like her dad, Jon Voight.

I think she may be trending more conservative. I know Brad Pitt says he carries a gun to protect himself and his family.

The Hollywood actress who is NOT a spoiled brat is a rare commodity indeed.

Doing pretend in front of a camera MUST be easy as hell

Katherine Hepburn allegedly said, "Acting isn't hard. Shirley Temple did it when she was four."

Looking forward to 'Unbroken' - Pretty sure you've got to have a big ego to be an actor or a director. These 'Sony hacks' are somewhat interesting and illustrate that nobody can truly control privacy on the www.

She's easy on the eyes but the tats ... not so much.

Sorry to post this again, but it’s relevant as far as Hollywood stars.

The great screenwriter William Goldman (Ronin, Butch Cassidy, Princess Bride, etc) wrote that in spite of all the talk in Hollywood about ‘doing lunch’, the lunches seldom lasted 30 minutes. He attributed this to the fact that a half hour was the maximum amount of time the celebrities could fake interest in someone other than themselves.

Angelina has recently shown signs of coming to Christ with her directing the film ‘Unbroken’.

Anybody in Hollywood with the gall to embrace Christ is an immediate candidate for Hollywood’s sh*t list.

I would like to hear the stories about her. You get to about others in the gossip sites but since she started to collect kids from around the world she seems to have gotten a better press agent that makes her out to be Mother Theresa.

Her past is pretty sordid so maybe the guy misses that.

Look at Charlton Heston vs Christian Bale as Moses.
Side by side photos. Same with Elizabeth Taylor and Angelina Jolie.

You had movie stars in the past who had presence.
Today you have celebrities who are mainly know for what they do off camera.

I have a special love for Charlton Heston.

I had a friend who was one of his caregivers in his last days.

I was able to share this story with him:

A little Jewish Boy who was a student of mine was getting into the Torah in Hebrew School, and he asked me if there were any good movies about the Torah (He loved old movies!) so i recommended the Ten Commandments.

A few weeks later, I asked him what he thought of the movie. He said it was awesome, but there was one question he had about it.

Thinking that it might be more appropriate for him to question his rabbi on anything theological, I cautiously asked him what his question was.

Here it was:

“What was Moses doing on the Planet of the Apes?????”

I shared this with my friend, who shared it with Charlton Heston, and he had a real belly-laugh over it!

It made me feel so good that i had been able to give some enjoyment to that man after all the wonderful movies he had given ME.

Thanks for the story. Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments are his two monuments and he was in a lot of other great movies too.

She’s a lib by our standards, but I suspect she is to the right of most in Hollywood.
