The fate of this picture still remains uncertain. The recent hack of Sony Pictures by as of yet unidentified hackers has revealed high tensions between Sony executives and producer Scott Rudin about the involvement of Angelina Jolie in the proposed project. Before all that happened, in an interview for BBC 5 radio on May 30th, 2014, Angelina Jolie had already given some interesting reflections on the project: "we have been working on it. There have been lots of different ideas of directors and lots of different discussions. The script has been written by Eric Roth, who is a dear friend and a brilliant writer... but she's complicated. It is complicated to get this one right [...] but I think we are getting there, it is very close, so... if we can pull it off... and I imagine that the preparation for it is going to be big. So it is one of those you feel like it is the one you put everything into and that is... that is where you end it... That is where you finish [...] no, in a great way... you go like... what could you do beyond that one? Put it all into that one".
