Sony Execs, They're Just Like You (They Think Jaden and Willow Smith are Crazy)

Sony passed around the same New York Times interview with Willow and Jaden Smith that we all did. And came to the same conclusion: stay away.

Finally emails from the Sony Pictures hack reveal that those in charge are just like us: they think that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith's children are crazy.

It's been a month since the Jaden and Willow Smith profile in The New York Times, so if you need a refresher, we understand. Here's a standout quote from the article, about their school and how they're not actually in it because it's in their minds:

"Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends," Jaden says. "It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to."

Now it's all coming back to you. So while Sony has revealed that their emails have been used to argue about Angelina Jolie, David Fincher, Adam Sandler, and whether or not the size of Michael Fassbender's penis is enough to open a movie for them, they also forwarded around that Smith spawn New York Times feature. Just like the rest of us.

In an email chain between Tom Rothman, chairman of a Sony distributor TriStar, Doug Belgrad, president of SPE's Motion Picture Group, and Amy Pascal, SPE's co-chairman, they plea for each other to read that legendary interview, "Jaden and Willow Smith on Prana Energy, Time and Why School is Overrated." You know, the same way we all used our email on November 17, 2014.

Rothman warns the other two: "they r home schooled: don't let this family date your movies." AKA "Thank God that Karate Kid remake we did has come and gone, now let's keep these kids away from Sony... unless Adam Sandler requests their involvement."
