Remember Amy Pascal, the Sony executive whose controversial and blunt internal e-mails were outed for the world to see after the company was hacked by North Korea?

She's now in a different role, as producer.

Pascal and Mark Gordon are producing the movie "Molly's Game", about Molly Bloom, who hosted super-high-stakes private games in NYC before being arrested as part of a gambling ring.

Jessica Chastain has been cast in the role of Molly.



This may actually be the first good poker movie we've seen in a long time. Pascal did and said a lot of stupid things as an executive, but she was known as someone who really had a feel for the movie industry and what made a movie good or bad. Despite all the controversy surrounding her, I can't picture her producing something that's utter crap.

She now has her own production company, but oddly has a 4-year partnership with Sony, the company she resigned from amidst the controversy last year.

Of course, Pascal bought the rights to an awful Gamergate movie (slated to be released in September) from an awful memoir from the awful Zoe Quinn, so maybe she isn't above producing crap.
