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

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."

I love Ben Hur too!
And let’s not forget “The Agony and the Ecstasy”!
She was beautiful, wasn’t she?
Yes! The violet eyes, black hair and porcelain skin were incomparable.
My first band was in the days when that movie was released.
We called ourselves “THE CLEOPATRAS” LOL!
