Beyonce Knowles Sony Hack: Daddy Matthew Knowles Persuaded Corporation To Create Biopic For Jay-Z’s Wife

Beyonce Knowles is the latest victim of the Sony hack controversy. In the latest hacked e-mail, it has been revealed that her father Matthew Knowles once pitched an idea to Sony which involved creating a biopic about the "Drunk in Love" songstress.

The e-mail, dated December 4, 2013, reveals Knowles approaching Screen Gems first with his idea before actually coming to Sony.

"Matthew Knowles, Beyonce's Father wants to make the film of Destiny's Child and came to me first," read the e-mail which came from Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper. The e-mail is addressed to Sony executives which included Amy Pascal.

"He's going to Universal next. Do we think it would be a successful film? They're on Sony label. I'm just not sure that it's not too soon," continued the e-mail.

 The leaked e-mail wasn't able to reveal if Sony opted to grab Knowles' pitch. At this point, there isn't a film about Beyonce alone. There is, however, a biopic about Destiny's Child which would air on the Lifetime Network in February 2015.

It is only normal for Matthew Knowles to pitch ideas because he has been managing his daughter's career since she was a teenager. Jay-Z's wife fired him though in 2011 after allegedly stealing money from the songstress.

Apart from Jay-Z's wife, Kanye West is a victim as well of the Sony hack. The hackers revealed that a Kanye West movie would hit theaters December 24, 2015. The movie will also star Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.

"We'll have an XMAS tease for 2015. We have a specific idea to attach to THE INTERVIEW that will crush. Seth, Joe, and [Anthony] Mackie reenacting the scene from BIG on the floor piano at FAO Schwartz with KANYE WEST. It's f***ing awesome," read the August 2014-dated e-mail from producer James Weaver.

The group behind the Sony hack is called the Guardians of Peace group. The spoilers are reportedly their holiday present for fans.

"We are preparing for you a Christmas gift. The gift will be larger quantities of data. And it will be more interesting. The gift will surely give you much more pleasure and put Sony Pictures into the worst state," wrote the hackers.
