Angelina Jolie steps out in elegant black dress to attend Difret screening... after she's branded a 'spoiled brat' by Hollywood producers

She’s been working non-stop to promote her second directorial effort, Unbroken.

But on Tuesday afternoon, Angelina Jolie stepped out in support of another film, attending the 2014 Variety Screening Series of Difret, an Ethiopian drama film written and directed by Zeresenay Berhane Mehar for which she served as executive producer.

The actress and humanitarian looked beautiful as ever in a loose-fitting silk black dress paired with nude heels as she arrived at the ArcLight Hollywood cinema in California.

She cut an elegant figure, wearing natural make-up and her hair down loose, as she introduced the film.

Angelina showed no signs of her recent trouble after she became the latest person to fall victim to the Sony Pictures hackers.

In what appear to be more leaked e-mails from the corporation – published by Gawker – Angelina is allegedly branded a ‘minimally talented spoiled brat’ by movie producer Scott Rudin.

The e-mail claims Angelina was displeased to learn that David Fincher was going to be directing the upcoming Jobs biopic as opposed to a re-make of Cleopatra that she would play the lead in.

Angelina then reportedly becomes the hot topic of conversation in a fiery exchange from February this year between Jobs producer Rudin, 56, and Sony Pictures co-chairperson Amy Pascal.

Bouncing back: Angelina showed no signs of having been affected by a recent email leak, which saw messages branding her a ‘a minimally talented spoiled brat’ made public

Rudin appears to refer to Angelina as ‘a minimally talented spoiled brat’ before viciously slamming her in multiple e-mails allegedly leaked in the recent Sony hacking scandal.

‘[Jolie] is upset about us giving david jobs she wants to talk,’ Pascal, 56, reportedly tells Rudin in a leaked e-mail dated February 27, which Gawker has published.

But he apparently had no interest in discussing the matter with the Maleficent star, saying, ‘She’ll survive it. I don’t want to waste my time on this.’

Later that day, he is said to have sent another e-mail to Pascal, which read, ‘YOU BETTER SHUT ANGIE DOWN BEFORE SHE MAKES IT VERY HARD FOR DAVID TO DO JOBS.’

She appears to respond with, ‘Do not f**king threaten me.’

It is claimed that Rudin proceeds to criticize Angelina a number of cutting remarks, and the idea of the movie altogether.
The alleged email states: ‘There is no movie of Cleopatra to be made (and how that is a bad thing and rampaging spoiled ego of this woman and the cost of the movie is beyond me) and if you won’t tell her that you do not like the script — which, let me remind you, SHE DOESN’T EITHER — this will just spin even further out in Crazyland but let me tell you I have zero appetite for the indulgence of spoiled brats and I will tell her this myself if you don’t.’

Among other things, Pascal apparently says in her more civil response, ‘You know Eric and she have always wanted David and I have been the one saying no for two years. I have asked you to talk to her with me and you don’t want to deal with it.’

However this allegedly caused Rudin to launch into yet another tirade in which he appears to insult the Unbroken director some more.

‘If you engage in this again, we will end up losing Fincher on the one we want him to do and will be stuck with shoving him onto a movie with no script that, underneath it all, you know in your heart and your brain should never be made,’ he apparently writes in the email.

‘I’m not remotely interested in presiding over a $180m ego bath that we both know will be the career-defining debacle for us both.

‘I’m not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don’t.’

Arguing over: David Fincher, pictured in Rome in January 2012, was originally set to direct Jobs, which was the subject of Rudin and Pascal’s e-mails

He allegedly goes on: ‘She’s a camp event and a celebrity and that’s all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming.

‘We will end up being the laughing stock of our industry and we will deserve it, which is so clearly where this is headed that I cannot believe we are still wasting our time with it.’

A representative for Jolie did not immediately respond when contacted by MailOnline.

Unfortunately for Rudin, Fincher is no longer attached to Jobs, which is being directed by Danny Boyle.

As reported in mid-November, original star Christian Bale has also opted out and has been replaced by Michael Fassbender. The project has now been picked up by Universal after being dropped by Sony.
