18 Most Shocking Movie Stories Of 2014

17. The Sony Pictures Hack

In late November, an organisation identifying themselves as Guardians of Peace hacked Sony Pictures, practically bringing the company's offices to its knees overnight. Days later, DVD screeners of films such as Fury, Still Alice and Mr. Turner appeared online, followed by a series of gigantic data dumps which revealed employee payroll data and an unfathomable number of embarrassing e-mails between Sony higher-ups. Over the weeks that followed, an insane amount of shocking information was revealed, including supposedly "racist" e-mails, concern over Bond movie Spectre's budget and the entire plot leaked, talks of a possible Men in Black and 22 Jump Street crossover, greater insight into the Jobs biopic debacle, and so much more. For entertainment gossip websites, it's naturally been a revenue goldmine, and for anyone interested in gaining some real insight into the inner machinations of the film industry, it has been undeniably fascinating.
