Amy Pascal's Job On The Line After Strange Obama Race E-Mails

  • 12 December 2014

Amy Pascal's job could potentially be on the line after the latest emails in the disastrous Sony hack revealed a strange conversation in which Pascal and producer Scott Rudin appeared to mock President Obama's race. It is worth noting that Pascal is a serious Democratic Party donor.

Pascal's contract with Sony expires in 2015 and it is widely believed that she may be on the verge of announcing that she will not be renegotiating.

The Obama correspondence was just one of a huge string of embarrassments for Sony, which has also included Aaron Sorkin admitting he had no idea who Michael Fassbender was, and Pascal attempting to placate North Korea by having Seth Rogen's The Interview edited to tone down a scene in which Kim Jong-Un's head blew up.

In the "less embarrassing" pile is the revelation that Marvel tried to enlist Spider-Man for Captain America 3: Civil War.
