Goosebumps
Clarence Day by solar day , the late hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment remain to trip stories in the news as information hold within personal emails and files is issue and reported on . Now , the group behind the taxi , Guardians of Peace , declare they will be releasing a series of “ Christmas Gifts , ” the first of which is Sony Entertainment CEO Michael Lynton ’s e-mail . This occur at a time where the presently - released file cabinet add up to a little over 200 GB of the reportedly 100 TB steal , or 0.2 % , of the info that drudge admit to stealing . So what ’s next ?
The truth is that aside from Adam Sandler’sHotel Transylvania 2 , which is still filming , and Seth Rogen ’s Pixar - inspiredSausage Party , which is still being animated , Sony Pictures ' 2015 films such as Neill Blomkamp’sChappie , The Wedding Ringer , extremely - predict summer release likePixelsand enfranchisement - starterGoosebumpsare at a microscope stage in post - output where much of the movie is finished and is now being edit - CGI , audio , colour correcting , etc . – for release . ( you could obtain a more complete list below . )
This means Sony has multiple variant of release and unreleased picture show in various stages of developing , with various stages of CGI complete . And because the entertainment industry is required to figure out around the orb , the ability for executives and manufacturer to watch new cuts of a film and ply notes , remotely , is necessary . unluckily , this modern advancement also becomes a certificate nightmare and basically a “ fascinate - all ” as anything and everything could , and likely has , been simulate from Sony ’s system .
Of the 8 separate Sony leaks , the unwanted liberation ofAnnie , Fury , Still Alice , andMr . Turnergive us our first real horse sense of what a direct attack at an entire film studio apartment look like . Fortunately for Sony , these four motion picture leaks come along to be make screeners for Awards Consideration , critically ( NYFCC , LAFCA , etc . ) and professionally ( Oscar , SAG , etc . ) , and not anything directly from Sony ’s guarded vault .
That said , it ’s safe to assume that not all of the 100 TB will not translate into direct releases of emails , videos and secret documents . 100 TB , or 100,000 GB , is still an astonishing amount of information to have , and no matter how protective Sony Pictures Entertainment is as a corporation , there ’s no way they can realistically consider anything is protected . The key to any secret may literally be in a written document single file billions of times smaller than the whole of the wetting .
The most worthful secrets Sony has are the ones they ’re advantageously love for , of course , and which do n’t require a parole : pic . The online outflow ofAnnie , Fury , Still AliceandMr . Turnerall correspond releases from attribute Sony has already approve screener of . When you take a step back and wait at the bold scale of what ’s pass , you begin to realize that because of mod technology , server and duteous workers , the absolute majority of Sony ’s theatrical going in 2015 are either finish or close to , and as such are subject to being stolen in the same way the emails , cinema and files were before . rent ’s break down why .

The Big Leak 2015?
If a lineup of unreleased Sony film does , in fact , turn out to be the ultimate “ Christmas Gift ” that the Guardians of Peace will be putting out , there ’s no actual style to tell how detrimental it will be for Sony Pictures . Millions ? Billions ? It could be anyone ’s guess . As a whole , entertainment is the United States ’ largest exportation , and Sony Pictures might soon have to adjudicate and survive by selling a intersection to an audience which has already had it many calendar month ahead of time .
Fortunately in Sony ’s favour , inundation downloads , which still account for a quarter of all internet usage , are still that of a very potent outspoken minority . After all , we ’ve seen films such asX - Men Origins : Wolverineleak early and still go on to do well financially ; yet we have never see anything like this take place in any diligence , with the potential difference for everything to leak out at once . Even attempt to estimate the fiscal impact a news leak of this size of it could have on Sony will almost certainly be undervalue .
As it stand , there ’s a clear divide between the genuine world and digital one , and we as a fellowship have yet to project how to maneuver these tantalizing glimpse and the boundary we find ourselves pressing against . If this mass release of picture does go on , however , it ’s almost sure that such boundaries will be shatter , and there ’s potency that Sony Pictures Entertainment could very well precipitate because of it . No matter what , it ’s secure to say that we ’ve never seen anything like this before - and hopefully , we never will again .
