Daniel Craig along with one of his co-stars today in central London, filming has been over-shadowed by confirmation from the producers that an early draft of the new James Bond movie script was hacked from Sony’s computers in November.
Films like Bond rely on shocks and surprises and that’s what scared Sony so much about this particular leak, because they fear that details will become widely known, it could harm them at the Box Office. Bond is cinemas biggest series, a franchise worth many billions of pounds.
The hacking has also led to media reports about the studio and some of the stars that work with, including Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and Jennifer Lawrence. Sony is threatening legal action against anyone publishing information, some of which has already damaged the company.
“It has been a difficult time for Sony anyway and this recent scandal has just exaggerated problems. We so the shares fall close the 13% as a result of this and the feeling is that some of the executives involved, probably some heads gonna have to go”, Jasper Lawler from CMC Markets reported.
With further hacking revelations expected to be uncovered, it’s still not clear how many more documents will eventually enter the public domain, or what the final effect will be on one of the worlds biggest entertainment groups and the films it produces.
