The devastating, extensive trove of leaked documents from the recent hack on entertainment company Sony's servers has thus far revealed details both charmingly hilarious and, well, not-so-funny—and the juicy tidbits keep on coming. The Daily Beast reports on an email dug up from August 4 of this year between Sony Pictures Entertainment co-chairman Amy Pascal and Elon Rutberg, Kanye West's creative director, to discuss an ambitious feature-length film involving Kanye in some way, shape, or form.
"I supervise all of Kanye's film and media projects, and we have a major film project coming up that involves both cinematic and technological innovation, so I naturally thought Sony and wanted to reach out," Rutberg wrote in the email. "We premiered a multi-screen cinema experience to great response at Cannes 2012, and are looking to take the storytelling to the next level with a feature length film, shot for an immersive cinema experience."
Another email dated August 7 of this year between film producer James Weaver, actor Seth Rogen, director Evan Goldberg, and Pascal details a planned cameo from Kanye in a Christmas Eve-themed film due next year that's set to star Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and directed by Jonathan Levine (who previously directed the Rogen and JGL-starring 2011 film 50/50). "We'll have an XMAS tease for 2015," Pascal claimed. "We have a specific idea to attach to THE INTERVIEW that will crush. Seth, Joe, and [Anthony] Mackie reenacting the scene from BIG on the floor piano at FAO Schwartz with KANYE WEST. It's ******* awesome."
