Sony taps Tom Rothman to replace studio boss Amy Pascal

Tom Rothman’s work e-mails must be squeaky clean.

The head of Sony’s TriStar Productions unit will replace Amy Pascal as chairman of the entertainment giant’s Motion Picture Group, the company said Tuesday.

Pascal was pushed out earlier this month after a string of embarrassing leaked e-mails and poor box-office performance.

Pascal’s internal messages, which were exposed by hackers during a devastating attack on the studio late last year, showed her poking fun at President Obama’s taste in movies and expressing disdain for Angelina Jolie.

Sony, before naming a Pascal successor, checked to see if any of the candidates had toxic e-mails in their out-boxes, sources said.

Rothman, the former chief at 20th Century Fox, apparently didn’t have any.

Sony reps declined comment on Rothman’s e-mails. The 60-year-old executive will work with Pascal to “ensure a smooth and orderly transition into his new role,” Sony said in a statement.

Rothman will report to Michael Lynton, chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Entertainment. Sony renewed Lynton’s contract Thursday.

“Tom knows this business inside and out like few others do,” Lynton said in a statement Tuesday.

Rothman beat out a handful of insiders for the top job, notably Columbia Pictures head Doug Belgrad, who was favored to win the studio bake-off.

Sony is hoping the next offering in its Bond franchise, “Spectre,” will help it increase its market share.

Grammy award winner Sam Smith is rumored to be writing a theme song for “Spectre,” which will star Daniel Craig.

Separately, Sony notified actors that they may see delayed payments. Deadline reported Monday that union SAG-AFTRA was informed by Sony that residuals from the first quarter may not show up until June.

The company says the problems are related to the cyber attack that took place over Thanksgiving and Christmas last year.
