So, of course, they had to get one of the most dynamically engaging actors working today to portray the guy on the silver screen.
Enter the Cumber-stud himself, Benedict Cumberbatch.
The Brit is set to intrigue us all in the upcoming Bill Condon-helmed film about the WikiLeaks whistleblower The Fifth Estate, which, the director has said, presents Assange as “neither hero [n]or villain.”
James McAvoy Daniel Brühl, Anthony Mackie, Laura Linney, Stanley Tucci, and Downton Abbey’s Dan Stevens co-star in the film, which is based upon activist and author Daniel Domscheit-Berg’s book Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World’s Most Dangerous Website. Brühl plays Domscheit-Berg.
The Fifth Estate – which will open the Toronto International Film Festival next month – is due out in the U.K. on Oct. 11 and in America a week later.
