Amy Pascal out at Sony?

Is the Sony exec on her way out after the now infamous "Sony hack"?

After the now infamous "Sony hack", Sony co-chair Amy Pascal may be out on the street after a series of revealing and embarrassing emails that she had written have been released.

Pascal, who is very involved in all decisions regarding Spider-man, calls out several high profile people in these emails, including calling Angelina Jolie a "minimally talented spoiled brat", calling Leonardo DiCaprio "despicable", and accusing screenwriter Aaron Sorkin of being broke and sleeping with author Molly Bloom.  Pascal, who is a major Obama and Democratic party financial supporter, also made racially insensitive remarks about the president, suggesting that he only likes movies targeted toward the black demographic, such as The Butler and Think Like A Man.

According to the NY Daily News, several of her emails  have charges of "bullying, racism, and sexual harrassment".

Now, according to an inside source, Pascal will be fired to "set an example".

So what will happen now, particularly in regards to the Spider-man franchise?  Will her ousting help or hinder Marvel's attempts to re-acquire the web-slinger?  Perhaps this will bring in some new blood which might produce a high quality movie Spider-man film, as we've come to expect from comic book movies over the last few years?

What do you guys think?  Sound off below!

Spider-Man needs a good movie free of love triangles, family/weird small universe drama, and cliches in general.

Hopefully with this bitch out, and maybe even Sony dead?, Spider-Man movies can get better

And then Marvel can get all their properties back under their belt.

Then Disney will be on their way to ruling the world.

Doesn't matter, if not her someone else will ruin Spidey as long as he is with Sony.

Btw if true, Amy Pascal was one of the ones open to collaborating with Marvel.

Jeff Robinov and Avi Arad are the ones totally against it.

Question: Why so anti-Marvel/Disney collaboration of Spider-man?

good, her ideas to work with Marvel Studios are all horrible and should never happen. and she wanted to dismantle Sinister Six to invest in their Civil War, the hell? didn't Goddard pass on directing Ridley Scott's The Martian and Marvel's Daredevil series just to make this movie for you??? you're a horrible person!

I don't think she would be out on the streets considering she probably has millions of dollars.

Nicely written article. I'd just add a picture if I were you. Thumbs up!

Reading those emails, she's just hearing people out at this point. She's open to anything. I like that she's seeking the best solution.


Despite that horribly written memo.

Depends who replaces her. If they're smart they'll share with Marvel.

Thanks, it's my first one. I had a thumbnail pic, but for some reason, it didn't include it. Also, I tried to add a big picture, but couldn't get it to work.

Thanks for the feedback!

Is anyone watching Marco Polo on Netflix?

If this is the quality that Netflix brings, I'm really excited to see the Marvel series.

I wonder who they will hire to replace her

I personally think this MIGHT help Marvel... Pascal was willing to deal, but only if they kept the creative rights (ha!), and Feige rightfully told them to go to he11.

Hopefully the next person will be a bit smarter during the big "Spidey Summit" in January...

She wasn't fired for the hack... She was fired over the public relations nightmare that was her email's "sent" box...
