Martin Scorsese on lost Cleopatra film

The Sony hack that followed The Interview didn't just target staff at Columbia Pictures; it effectively killed a massive Cleopatra project Martin Scorsese was ready to helm. Seth Rogen's portrayal of Kim Jong Un reportedly angered the North Korean leader, leading to retaliation against the studio and the cancellation of the film. Scorsese is furious about the whole thing because the script was finished and preparations were already underway. Angelina Jolie was set to play Cleopatra VII, but the chaos surrounding the cyberattack ruined everything before they could start filming.
