Movies That Should Have Been Hacked

These films could have used a little sabotage.

Movies That Should Have Been Hacked - Hollywood experienced a historic first these past few weeks when a cyber-terrorist attack allegedly from North Korea managed to derail a film release (Seth Rogen and James Franco's The Interview, which shows the comedy duo taking out North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, was initially pulled from theaters and then released on limited screens). While the incident arguably posed a dangerous precedent when it comes to dealing with foreign enemies, there are a few films that nobody would mind if hackers spared us from. Here are the movies that actually deserved to be hacked.  (Photo: Columbia Pictures)

Aaliyah Biopic - Lifetime's television movie Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B may have scored over three million viewers, but — if Twitter is any indication — nearly all of them could agree that the biopic should have never been made. From bad casting choices to a superficial plot, the memes bashing the film were more interesting than the film itself.(Photo: Christos Kalohoridis/Lifetime)

Exodus: Gods and Kings - Ridley Scott's biblical epic has angered many with its seemingly racist casting choices: all the "gods and kings" are played by white actors, while the "slaves, thieves and lower-class citizens" are played by actors of color. Scott's response to the controversy, claiming that he couldn't get financing with a more diverse cast, reeks of an old Hollywood mentality that has no place in the 21st century. (Photo: Twentieth Century Fox)

Nina - From the moment it was announced that Zoe Saldana would play Nina Simone in a biopic on the famed singer, it seems the project was doomed. Fans were outraged by the decision to cast the Dominican actress as Simone, especially when she was "blackened" up to become Nina. The film has been sitting on the shelf for well over a year, leading us to believe that Black Twitter already successfully shut it down.  (Photos from left: Ian Showell/Getty Images, FameFlynet

Horror Movie Remakes - From A Nightmare on Elm Street to Friday the 13th, Hollywood can't break its habit of remaking horror classics — to far inferior effect. But the fact that these films top the box office means that producers aren't likely to be scared off from this trend anytime soon.  (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Mariah Carey - In 2002, Jennifer Lopez was up for a Worst Actress Razzie but lost to Mariah Carey, whose forgettable role in Glitter put the pop icon over the top for one of the worst performances of the year.(Photo: Courtesy Twentieth Century Fox Pictures)

Glitter - Mariah Carey's first foray into acting resulted in a resounding flop — one that even Mimi admits is her biggest regret. "For a while, people couldn't even mention the 'G' word around me," she explained to Andy Cohen, adding that the backlash derailed her career for a solid two years. We're sure Mariah would have been the first one to call the hackers to sabotage this project if she could have.(Photo: Twentieth Century Fox Pictures)

Catwoman - Halle Berry's stint as the feline superhero is not only one of the worst-reviewed films of her career, but of all time. The multiple Razzie Award-winning film nearly erased the memory of her historic Academy Award win, but Berry redeemed herself by gamely accepting her Worst Actress Razzie in person. Still, we don't think Berry would mind one bit if hackers purged this movie from her resume.(Photo: Warner Bros Pictures)

Mark Watson in Soul Man - In Soul Man, Mark Watson is a white student who pretends to be African-American to get a scholarship to Harvard Law School. With bad blackface makeup and a fake afro, he may have fooled the characters in the film but he didn't fool  the film's audience. (Photo: Balcor Film Investors)

Soul Man - We can't think of many instances when blackface in a film would be considered a good idea, but it's especially offensive in this 1986 film, about a white co-ed (C. Thomas Howell) who can't afford to pay for college, puts on blackface and steals a scholarship designated for minorities. The blackface isn't even the worst part: it's the fact that we're supposed to believe that everyone else in the film is actually convinced by his awful disguise.  (Photo: Balcor Film Investors)
