Not even George Clooney is immune to the now-infamous Sony Hack.
Earlier today, the Sony hack revealed emails between the A-list actor and Amy Pascal, Chairman of SPE's Motion Picture Group, after negative reviews came out panning his film World War II drama, Monuments Men.
In Clooney's email, the actor wrote to Pascal that he needed, "protection from all the reviews." The Gravity actor begged Pascal, "Let's just make it a hit." Clooney then added, "I haven't slept in 30 hours. And it's 7 am."
Despite the super star cast, consisting of Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray and John Goodman, the film scored a a measly 31 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.
In the email exchange, it appears as though Clooney took the blame for the dud of a film, writing, "I fear I've let you all down. Not my intention. I apologize. I've just lost touch .. Who knew? Sorry. I won't do it again."
Pascal reassured the Oscar winner by saying, "We will protect you by making money… that's the best revenge."
The film had a budget of $70 million, but domestically only took home $78,031,620, according to Box Office Mojo. While it most certainly was a flop stateside, overseas the film earned $76,952,415, which accumulated to a worldwide gross of $154,984,035. Not bad for a movie that got such mediocre (at best) reviews!
