Martin Scorsese‘s “Cleopatra” never came to fruition, and he says the Angelina Jolie-starrer was nixed because of Seth Rogen and the Sony hack.

For those who need a refresher, Sony emails were hacked in November 2014 by a group that hoped the Seth Rogen comedy “The Interview,” which was about a fictional assassination attempt of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, would not be released by Sony.
