Are Sony Hackers Preparing Leak Of Studio’s 2015 Slate? Chappie, Pixels, 20 Others At Risk

Sony's darkest days may not be behind them yet. Last month, hacker group Guardians of Peace attacked the company and leaked terabytes of sensitive information along with high-quality copies of major titles, including Brad Pitt starrer Fury, then-unreleased family flick Annie and biopic Mr. Turner. When Sony finally caved in and canceled the December 25th premiere of controversial comedy The Interview (widely perceived as the reason for the hack), many assumed that the studio was out of the woods. However, there's reason to believe that the worst may be yet to come.
