Embattled Sony chief Amy Pascal is due to meet with the Rev. Al Sharpton in person in New York just days before Sonys remake of Annie, starring Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhan Wallis, is to be released in theaters.
Pascal made a call to Sharpton late last week after racist e-mails between herself and producer Scott Rudin about President Obama and what movies he might like were revealed as part of sensitive information released by hackers.
Sharpton said to Page Six exclusively:
I told her how offended I was, I felt it was outrageous. She said it didnt reflect her [true feelings]. I told her when you look at the lack of diversity in Hollywood, and her own company and the context and language [of the e-mails], how could I not feel offended?
Sharpton said Pascal was due to be in New York next week and asked me to meet. I agreed. Sharpton also said he would ask prominent African-American academic Dr. Cornel West and Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, to join the meeting. He added no mention was made of Rudin in the call.
Sharpton continued that he didnt agree to anything more than a meeting with Pascal during their conversation.
I dont agree her apology is sufficient, nor did I agree that we wont join those [calling] for her removal. Everything is on the table. Im not going to promise anything either way.
Pascal on Thursday told the Hollywood Reporter the call to Sharpton was about starting the healing process, and said, I want to accept responsibility for these stupid, callous remarks.
Others believe Pascal is trying to save her job and stem further fallout, whether it be black talent refusing to work with Sony or boycotts of Sony movies, including Annie.
A Hollywood source said, The bottom line is that Sony is a publicly traded company, and if their shareholders and box office is hurt from the fallout of this hacking scandal, that will seal her fate. It is interesting that Sony ordered its name be removed from The Interview, and you may well see they will do the same with Annie.

If Rev. Al Sharpton ever hoped to lead the "black lives matter" movement that's sweeping the United States, he likely lost that opportunity in one moment on Saturday.
The moment came during the "Justice For All" march in Washington, D.C., which was organized by Sharpton's National Action Network. The group had a set list of speakers, but Johnetta Elzie, who said she had been tear-gassed while protesting in Ferguson, Missouri where the movement originated after the killing of a black teenager by a white police officer wanted the microphone.
Young people had led the protest marches from the beginning, Elzie later argued, so they should be given a voice. But when Elzie known as @nettaaaaaaaa on Twitter finally began talking, march organizers cut the mic.
She eventually got to speak for a short few seconds. But by then, Sharpton and NAN had lost much of the support young protesters might have given them, and you can hear it in her voice.
After that, the dam broke, and young members of the movement railed against Sharpton's "corporate" approach to activism, and the lack of passion in the crowd at the Justice For All March, especially when compared to other protests that have flared up across the country.
Young protesters were also not pleased with the idea of a VIP section at a protest ostensibly designed for the populace.
It's not that many of the younger protesters didn't believe the older generation should have a say. They were often quick to clarify that the participation of all generations is significant. But they didn't understand nor appreciate being told to pass the baton to Sharpton and a pre-ordained leadership who could "take it from here," so to speak.
