WikiLeaks founder
Julian Assange is one famous guy, indeed!
We already have one documentary about him, one possible film, and today – one film that may be written by
Mark Boal, and another one with
Paul Greengrass attached as a possible director!
Huh! Assange, Assange, you're going to be some tough competition for the upcoming Snow White!
So, we just learned that Oscar winning screenwriter Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker) is teaming up with production label Management 360 and producer Megan Ellison to obtain the rights of another Assange based article to be transformed into a movie.
The article was published in the New York Times, and is called
The Boy Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest: Dealing With Assange and the WikiLeaks Secrets.
The article is written by
Bill Keller.
However, there is some interest in a movie based on Assange's memoirs, which reportedly Paul Greengrass is interested in directing.
And, as we already reported, there's
Alex Gibney's documentary based on
Raffi Khatchadourian's June 7, 2010 New Yorker article called
No Secrets: Julian Assange's Mission for Total Transparency and a possible film based on
Andrew Fowler's forthcoming book titled
The Most Dangerous Man in the World.
On the other hand, DreamWorks is considering a film adaptation of the book
Inside WikiLeaks to be released on February 15, which is written by
Daniel Domscheit-Berg, a WikiLeaks defector who wanted to reveal journalistic discretion towards the government secret documents.
