And surprisingly, around the same time, thousands of Sony emails got leaked by hackers.Looking back, Martin remarked, “We were gonna do Cleopatra at one point, and then they made fun of [Kim Jong Un], and he got mad and blew up everybody at Columbia.”He added, “Seth Rogen, right?

And then he got mad, and [it] ruined Cleopatra.”Although Rogen was not directly responsible for the cancellation, the hack exposed private emails between the film producer Scott Rudin and Sony executive Amy Pascal.And in one exchange, Scott described Angelina as “a minimally talented spoiled brat.”“We were gonna do it,” Martin recalled. “Angelina Jolie.

It was gonna be really wild.” Martin Scorsese spills why his Angelina Jolie 'Cleopatra' movie was cancelled October 31, 2026.
