James Bond 24: Sony executive was disappointed with poor ending of 'Spectre' film

The recent hack that happened in Sony proved to be a disaster for the new James Bond movie called "Spectre," since its script was leaked.

The hack that happened in the Sony system as a result of the movie, The Interview, leaked hundreds of e-mail exchanges between studio executives, producers, directors and actors. Exclusive scripts of upcoming movies also fell victim to the leak, and the next James Bond movie, "Spectre," is one of these films.

The final act for Spectre was leaked, and in one e-mail conversation that was also leaked, it has been revealed that top Sony executives were not impressed with how the movie's ending was written. The e-mail also revealed that the writer responsible for the ending was fired because of it.

Website, Defamer, has put together the e-mail conversations, with one showing from top MGM executive, Jonathan Glickman. In the e-mail, Glickman's comments on the script are far from satisfactory.

"For what it's worth, I think first 100 pages are fantastic. It's all downhill from there. You guys set me up for a let down on climax. So I was not surprised," wrote Glickman in the hacked e-mail conversation. Glickman had another comment, pointing at the chases and how the story goes, suggesting some form of twist to the story.

"Also, there needs to be some kind of a twist rather than a series of water chases with guns," wrote Glickman in another memo.

Aside from Glickman, there were also other notes on the movie's ending, saying that Spectre's ending should be the best ending any James Bond film ever had. Unfortunately, the script did not deliver.

"We've already witnessed many horrible acts of terrorism, the finale should be about the biggest one yet that allows SPECTRE to profit the most. They should need the combined resources of all the intelligence agencies to pull it off," another executive noted.

Spectre is set for a November 6, 2015 worldwide premiere.
