- WIKILEAKS FILM
There are a number of projects in development about
WikiLeaks and/or WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, but one such film may now be
moving closer to a reality.
Deadline reports, that Jeremy Renner is apparently keen on
playing Assange in DreamWorks’ iteration of the story, with Kinsey and director
Bill Condon looking at possible taking the helm. No solid movement has been made concerning
Renner or Condon, but the two would make an interesting team to tackle one of
the most high profile stories of the last decade.

| Jeremy Renner to play Julian Assange maybe!! |
DreamWorks’ project is based on two books: David Leigh and
Luke Harding’s WikiLeakes: Inside Julian Assange’s War on Secrecy and Daniel
Domscheit-Berg’s Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World’s
Most Dangerous Website.
Deadline notes that producers are considering moving away
from DreamWorks and seeking independent financing, but that’s not a done deal yet
either.
HBO and BBC are working on their own WikiLeaks project,
while financier Megan Ellison is also developing a project of her own that may
be scripted by The Hurt Locker’s Mark Boal.
Condon is currently busy with post-production on the last installment in
the Twilight franchise, and Renner is gearing up to shoot David O. Russell’s
next currently untitled feature.
