MGN Online LOS ANGELES (AP) – Angelina Jolie and her highly anticipated “Unbroken” may have been shut out at the Golden Globe nominations, but she was still in the Hollywood spotlight Thursday, following the latest in a series of leaked emails in the Sony hacking scandal that calls the actress and director a “spoiled brat.” Scott Rudin, the high-powered producer who made the “spoiled brat” comment, in addition to an email exchange with Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal about President Barack Obama’s presumed taste in movies, apologized Thursday, as did Pascal. “Private emails between friends and colleagues written in haste and without much thought or sensitivity, even when the content of them is meant to be in jest, can result in offense where none was intended,” Rudin said in a statement to industry website Deadline that was also later released to The Associated Press. “I made a series of remarks that were meant only to be funny, but in the cold light of day, they are in fact thoughtless and insensitive – and not funny at all. To anybody I’ve offended, I’m profoundly and deeply sorry, and I regret and apologize for any injury they might have caused.” In a statement released by Sony, Pascal called her comments “insensitive and inappropriate” and “not an accurate reflection of who I am.” She said that although the emails were “stolen,” she accepted “full responsibility for what I wrote and apologize to everyone who was offended.” Controversy swelled Tuesday in the long-playing Sony scandal when hacked email exchanges obtained by the website Gawker gave the public an unfiltered glimpse into the way Hollywood often does business: down and dirty, with scant mincing of words. The correspondence in question was primarily between Rudin, an Oscar-winning producer known for “No Country for Old Men,” and Pascal, who has held the position since 2006. The two have a decades-long friendship, thanks in part to a longstanding deal with the studio, where they’ve worked jointly on projects like “The Social Network.” When juxtaposed with the saccharine graciousness of awards-season decorum, the emails reveal a coarser, darker and, to some, surprising side of the industry. “She’s a camp event and a celebrity and that’s all,” wrote Rudin of Jolie in one exchange about a potential “Cleopatra” project. In another, as reported by Buzzfeed, Rudin and Pascal also riffed about what she should talk to President Obama about at an upcoming fundraiser. “Would he like to finance some movies,” Rudin asked. “I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” Pascal replied, referring to Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained.” “I bet he likes Kevin Hart,” wrote Rudin. They continued the email chain joking about which films the President might enjoy, referencing “Lee Daniels’ The Butler,” ”Think Like a Man” and “Ride Along” – all films with primarily African American casts. Rudin also disparaged production company Annapurna Pictures founder Megan Ellison (“The Master”), calling her a “bipolar 28 year old lunatic.” Ellison tweeted a response: “Bipolar 28 year old lunatic..? I always thought of myself more as eccentric.” Beyond the scintillating behind-the-scenes peek at the film business, Hollywood is somewhat divided on how to feel to about the unflattering exposure and what it means for Sony. Many are concerned about the ethics of diving into the leaked assets, which have included films, executive salaries, and the Social Security numbers of nearly everyone who has received a paycheck from Sony. “You can’t hold people responsible on how they conduct (emailing) in private or between colleagues, unless they’re doing something illegal,” comedian Ricky Gervais told the AP. “Foxcatcher” star Steve Carell put it this way: “It almost seems like it’s a story line from a film but the truth is stranger than fiction, I guess.” Representatives for Rudin, Jolie and Hart did not immediately respond to the AP’s request for comment and the White House had no immediate comment.
