Sony hacking saga to feature in cyber-crime documentary

Oscar-nominated team behind The Square to probe story of cyberattack on studio emails that sparked diplomatic rows and distressed stars

The emails leaked from Sony Pictures in 2014 deteriorated US-North Korean diplomatic relations, slurred a president and embarrassed an Affleck. No wonder the story behind the Sony hack is getting a film treatment.

Jehane Noujaim and Karim Amer, the married film-makers behind the Oscar-nominated Egyptian revolution film The Square, are working on a feature-length documentary about cybercrime, with a focus on last December's security breach at Sony, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
