Sony Emails Slam Leonardo DiCaprio, Willow and Jaden Smith, Gush Over Ryan Gosling

Two weeks after the group Guardians of Peace hacked Sony's servers, exposing confidential documents, that range from basic profiles of employees to more sensitive conversations, The Daily Beast found out a new batch of email conversations that detailed how a Sony exec heavily favors Ryan Gosling while loathing Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith's kids, as well as a sympathetic email conversation with George Clooney.

The hack made available the long online conversation between Sony Pictures Co-Chair Amy Pascal and Ryan Gosling's talent manager, Ilene Feldman,

In an email dated October 3, 2014, Feldman told Pascal how her talent "absolutely loved" the studio exec.

"Said it was like speed dating because he was late after hitting every wrong gate on the lot. Not it should turn to marriage. He really wants to do something with you," Feldman wrote.

Pascal then sent the email to Michael De Luca, Columbia Pictures' co-production president, inquiring about the projects that Ryan was interested.

De Luca replied: "It's Ghostbusters according to Ilene."

Another October 3 email that Pascal sent to Feldman revealed that Sony was also considering of casting the hunk actor in Sinister Six and the now-shelved Steve Jobs biopic.

While Gosling may be Pascal and Sony Picture's darling, the studio chair, meanwhile, wasn't all too impressed with Leonardo DiCaprio, castigating the four-time Oscar nominee after he decided backed out from playing as the late Apple co-founder.

A Sept. 28, 2014 email conversation between Pascal and Jobs producer Mark Gordon focused on criticizing the seasoned actor.

"Was this about the deal... or did he just change his mind," Gordon wrote.

"The latter," Pascal replied.

Gordon tagged DiCaprio as someone with "Horrible behavior," while Pascal described him as "actually despicable."

And there's more...

An email conversation between Tom Rothman, TriStar productions exec, and Pascal dated November 18, 2014  saw the two execs hit Will Smith's kids, Willow and Jaden

 "1. Read this. 2. they r home schooled: don't let this family date your movies!!!" Rothman wrote, attaching a link of the Smith kids' interview with T Magazine.

Then, there's Pascal and George Clooney's email convo, which, The Daily Beast considers as "more sympathetic" on Clooney's project, The Monuments Men,

In an email dated January 29, 2014, Clooney sent an email to Pascal airing his fear and asked for "some protection from all the reviews. Let's just make it a hit. I haven't slept in 30 hours. And it's 7 am."

Pascal guaranteed that Clooney's project will get all the support it needs, saying "we will protect you by making money... that's the best revenge."

Clooney sent a response of relief and appreciation to Pascal's effort.

"I adore you Amy. You are literally the only person running a studio that loves film. 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," the Oscar-winning actor wrote.
