For the most part, the now infamous Sony email leaks had skipped over the music industry. Until now.
In the second wave of leaks, hackers got wind that Kanye West’s creative team DONDA had reached out to Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairwoman Amy Pascal last August interested in working with Sony on a new project. In an email with the subject line “Kanye West / Collaboration,” Elon Rutberg, currently serving as the head of Media/Content Creative Direction & Creative Coordination at DONDA, asked Pascal if she would be interested in working together on a feature length film.
“[W]e have a major film project coming up that involves both cinematic and technological innovation, so I naturally thought of Sony and wanted to reach out,” the email reads. “We premiered a multi-screen cinema experience to great response at Cannes 2012, and are looking to take the storytelling to the next level with a feature length film, shot for an immersive cinema experience.”
So far, it doesn’t look like there was a response via email. However, there appears to be no love lost. Ye has teamed with former boss Dame Dash to pursue several business ventures – one includes feature films.
The two have executive produced “Loisaidas,” a grim look at life in Harlem. The film is scheduled to be released in seven more episodes.
