Sony Pictures fell victim to hacking by a group named Guardians of Peace last week and now Gawker has found what appears to be a compilation of negative feedback from the company's staffers. One of the highlights in the file under the name "Sony_2012_Comment" includes complaints about the company's commodity, Adam Sandler movies.
"There is a general 'blah-ness' to the films we produce," one anonymous staffer said of the company's performance. "Although we manage to produce an innovative film once in awhile, 'The Social Network', 'Moneyball', 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)', we continue to be saddled with the mundane, formulaic Adam Sandler films... Let's raise the bar a little on the films we produce, and inspire employees that they are working on the next 'Social Network'."
Following the hacking last Monday, some upcoming movies such as "Annie", "Still Alice", "Mr. Turner" and "To Write Love on Her Arms" were shared online. Brad Pitt's WWII drama "Fury" which was recently released in theaters was also leaked.
A list featuring executive's paycheck later floated around. On Wednesday, new data by Bloomberg suggested that James Franco made $6.5 million from his new comedy "The Interview", which tells the story of two journalists who are sent by the CIA to North Korea to assassinate its leader, while his co-star Seth Rogen earned $8.4 million.
North Korea who has been linked to the hacking stunt did not deny their involvement. A government spokesperson simply told media earlier this week, "The hostile forces are relating everything to the DPRK (North Korea). I kindly advise you to just wait and see."
