The first trailer for the upcoming Wikileaks movie The Fifth Estate has been released, with Sherlock star and Star Trek villain Benedict Cumberbatch taking on the role of Julian Assange.
No ad to show here.
While the film is sure to attract a lot of attention, but one person who probably wouldn’t watch it (even if he managed to leave the Ecuadorian embassy he’s been holed up in), is Assange himself. The Wikileaks founder slammed a leaked version of the script, calling it a “massive propaganda attack” against Wikileaks.
For its part Wikileaks sent out a tweet, expressing similar sentiments to those of Assange:
"The Fifth Estate" trailer has just been released. Don't be fooled. It implies we gave Iran nukes and killed 2,000 http://t.co/9xs1f0T8il
