DreamWorks Pictures has entered the fray of the WikiLeaks race by acquiring two books about the controversial website and its founder Julian Assange reports Deadline.
The former studio turned production label has acquired Daniel Domscheit-Berg's "Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website" along with David Leigh and Luke Harding's "WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy".
Domscheit-Berg is Assange's former 'Number Two' at the organisation who defected because he wanted to apply journalistic discretion in the dispersal of secret government documents, whereas Assange wants to publish everything. DreamWorks is reportedly circling this project.
Leigh and Harding are reporters for the U.K. newspaper The Guardian, who helped Julian Assange with his early revelations.
DreamWorks are planning on a WikiLeaks film that explores several angles of the story so will probably combine elements of both. No scribe has yet been hired.

WikiLeaks: The Movie. Alright, maybe not quite that dramatic, but there is a plan hatching to develop a feature film about The Most Dangerous Man in the World, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
In a world where a movie about the creation of Facebook has won some of the best reviews of 2010, a movie about Assange and his online creation suddenly starts to look attractive.
The genesis of the Assange biopic begins with Andrew Fowler's upcoming biography of the WikiLeaks founder, The Most Dangerous Man in the World. Fowler interviewed Assange several times last year and started putting together his non-fiction book after his subject's infamy with world governments rocketed high with the release of several thousand secret diplomatic cables. Assange has been the subject of a police investigation in Sweden concerning possible sexual crimes. He was released on bail and is awaiting the start of an extradition hearing scheduled for next month.

The story of Facebook founder Mark Zukerberg’s ascension to the top (and the ensuing drama around his creation) has proved to be a big box office draw, and it also looks like The Social Network may be the recipient of a number of Oscars, come March time.
Following that film’s success and the current thirst to capitalise on contemporary news stories, it comes as no surprise to learn (via The Wrap) that a biopic of Julian Assange (the man who recently caused a near world-wide PR meltdown with site Wikileaks) is in the works.
Michelle Krumm (a former Weinstein Company executive) has teamed up with Josephson Entertainment to option the yet-to-be-published biography of Assange, entitled The Most Dangerous Man in The World.

Being one of the more polarizing public figures of the modern era kid of puts you on a fast-track to a movie about your life, either in the form of a documentary or biopic. But, if you’re extra special, like Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, you get both.
According to Deadline, the founder of the document-leaking, politician-infuriating organization has caught the attention of both Alex Gibney and Universal Studios, who’ve agreed to fund a documentary for him to direct. His past work, which includes Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer and Casino Jack and the United States of Money makes him a great fit for the headline-occupying material (I love hyphens!).

It was inevitable, of course, that Julian Assange, freedom of information campaigner and the “front man” of Wikileaks would at some point be depicted on the big screen. What is a surprise, however, is the speed and avarice with which his life story has been seized upon by the Hollywood machine.
With so much of the Assange story yet to truly unfold before, inevitably, by hook or by crook, the CIA finally get their man, one would think that producers and screenwriters would be waiting with pens poised for Assange’s nascent martyrdom for democracy. – Not so, it would appear. Keen to steal a march on potential competitors, Michelle Krum and her production company have optioned an as yet unreleased biography of Assange entitled The Most Dangerous Man in the World.

Universal Pictures has acquired a documentary about controversial WikiLeaks founder and political activist Julian Assange with Oscar-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney set to direct and produce.
Assange founded WikiLeaks, an international non-profit organization, in 2006 as a means to publish private, secret, and classified documents about world governments and businesses. The organization came under fire more recently when, in July 2010, they released the Afghan War Diary that compiled over 76,000 documents about the ongoing war in Afghanistan.
The Australian journalist is currently under house arrest in England awaiting an extradition hearing for a Swedish arrest warrant and allegations of sexual assault. Meanwhile, members of the U.S. government, as well as reality TV star Sarah Palin, continue to hammer Assange with rhetoric calling him a “high-tech terrorist.”
It’s unclear if Assange will participate in Gibney’s documentary, but given his policy of speaking openly about his practices and the mounting costs of his legal defense,...

One of the first big pieces of news out of Sundance is that Universal will fund a documentary about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, directed by Alex Gibney (Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Casino Jack and the United States of Money). Together with the biopic of Mr. Assange that is about to go into development at a different company, that would make him quite the man of the moment -- if he hadn't already been the man of the moment thanks to the actions of WikiLeaks over the past months. [Update: Deadline [1] says that HBO is also developing a film about Mr. Assange. This one would be a co-production with the BBC based on Raffi Khatchadourian's June 7, 2010 New Yorker article [2] called No Secrets: Julian Assange’s Mission for Total Transparency.] More detail on each film after the break.

One of last years most intriguing people was undoubtedly Julian Assange. Whether you thought was he was doing was right or wrong, there was no way you weren.t hearing about him and everything he.s allegedly done. To help pay for his ever mounting legal fees, Assange took a deal in which he would receive $1 million in exchange for his autobiography. There was a lot of controversy around this, as people immediately called him out for profiting on the secrets of the government and blah blah blah people complaining about stuff they don.t need to complain about. Anyway, another biography was written by Australian reporter Andrew Fowler called The Most Dangerous Man in the World, which THR says has been optioned - though that.s as far into the process they.ve gotten. Producers Barry Josephson and Michelle Krumm landed the deal, but they have hired no screenwriters,...

Film studio secures screen rights to forthcoming biography about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
It has all the ingredients for a big-screen tale of intrigue and conspiracy: the plucky underdog vying to buck the system, sexual complications and powerful government forces with secrets to hide.
WikiLeaks: the Movie moved a step closer to reality yesterday after studio executives picked up the screen rights to the forthcoming Julian Assange biography The Most Dangerous Man in the World by award-winning Australian writer Andrew Fowler. The book details Assange's life from his childhood on Magnetic Island in Queensland, Australia, all the way through to his founding of the whistleblower website in 2006 to publish classified material.
Assange has been labelled "a high-tech terrorist" by his foes and "the internet's freedom fighter" by his supporters. In November, WikiLeaks scored its most high-profile coup to date when it partnered with the Guardian to publish over 250,000 secret Us diplomatic cables.
