New emails released last week Saturday in the Sony hack find Amy Pascal and another high-ranking executive inside the company blasting some major Hollywood players.
Pascal and producer Mark Gordon trash Leonardo DiCaprio after the actor decided not to star in their Steve Jobs biopic Jobs in one email, while another executive, Tom Rothman, blasts Jaden and Willow Smith for an interview the youngsters did with the New York Times.
Like many of the emails, the first exchange deal with the frequently problematic Jobs picture the studio is working on, and the moment DiCaprio decided to pull out of the film.
Pascal tells the film's producer, Gordon, that the actor just changed his mind about doing the picture, to which Gordon responds 'Horrible behavior.'
Pascal takes it a step further however, writing back 'Actually despicable.'
In the exchange Pascal was sent a link by Tom Rothman, an executive at Tri-Star Productions, to a piece in which the Smith children claim they can control time and discuss 'Prana energy'.
In the piece, the two add that they find nothing of worth in all the music and fiction produced by other people, so write their own albums and novels for entertainment.
Poking fun at the surreal article, Rothman emails Pascal saying: '1. Read this. 2. they r home schooled: don’t let this family date your movies!!!'
In one portion of the piece, Jaden Smith, then 16, said: 'Honestly, we’re just trying to make music that we think is cool. We don’t think a lot of the music out there is that cool. So we make our own music.
'We don’t have any song that we like to listen to on the P.C.H. by any other artist, you know?'
Willow adds: 'That’s what I do with novels. There’re no novels that I like to read so I write my own novels, and then I read them again, and it’s the best thing.'
Rothman's comments came despite the fact that Jaden Smith has starred in three Sony blockbuster films : The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Karate Kid and After Earth.
