George Clooney

LOS ANGELES: Actor George Clooney had predicted the major hack attack against Sony Pictures employees, according to a leaked e-mail of a studio executive.

The major security breach made headlines over the past few of weeks after activists illegally gained access to Sony’s computer systems and databases last month (Nov. 2014) and stole e-mails, celebrities’ personal information, and unreleased movies.

Among the leaked e-mails is an exchange between George and Sony Pictures chair Amy Pascal. It was posted on the site Gizmodo on Tuesday (Dec. 9), reports contactmusic.com.

An e-mail from George Clooney to Amy Pascal, dated Sept. 5, had the subject line, “Knowing this e-mail is being hacked.”

In the body of the note, the actor discussed an upcoming project and wrote: “How much fun are we gonna have. The stakes are higher than citizen kane. If we tell the truth in a compelling way, Rupert (Murdoch) wont’ get time/warner… cnn won’t be fox… I’m so excited to do this film.”

Clooney then addressed any hackers reading his communiques by writing, “And for those of you listening in, I’m the son of a news man. Everything will be double sourced, so come on with your lawsuits.”
