It only was a matter of time.
The first film to address the Sony Pictures hack is in the works, from the team behind 2013’s Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning documentary The Square from Netflix. Spouses Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer quietly are working on a documentary that explores the cyberattack, whose twists and turns captivated Hollywood late last year, culminating with Sony’s Amy Pascal stepping down from the co-chairman post under CEO Michael Lynton in February. The untitled film is expected to drop new bombshells. Sources say director Noujaim and producer Amer will put forth alternative theories about the hack’s culprit. (Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer’s Mike Lerner also is producing.) After the breach was detected Nov. 24, focus immediately shifted to North Korea, which had expressed outrage over The Interview. On Dec. 19, the FBI and President Obama fingered the rogue nation as the perpetrator.
