According to emails that have leaked in the cyberattack, the new movie, set for release next Nov., is reported to be way over budget, costing over $300 million. That figure would make "Spectre" one of the most expensive movies ever made

Reuters reported the hack could cost Sony Pictures $100 million.

It is not known who is behind the massive security breach of Sony, though a group of hackers referring to themselves as the Guardians of Peace (GoP) have taken responsibility.

So far, the hack has resulted in the leak of email accounts and salaries of Sony executives, top celebrity aliases, and details on future movie plans, among much more.
