The hackers demand a large amount of money in Bitcoin and will release parts of the movie until their demands are met.

Deadline is reporting the theft concerns Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, the upcoming fifth installment in the Pirates franchise. Disney hasn’t commented yet, but insiders say the company refuses to pay. The hackers claim to have a copy and will release bits of it online until their demands are met. Disney is now working with the FBI to figure out what to do.
