Stephen Spielberg is supposed to make a movie on Wikileaks with dreamworks, his production company having bought the right of two books about the organisation and it's author Julian Assange. Wikileaks: Inside Julian Assange's war on secrecy, written by two journalists from the Gaurdain and Inside Wikileaks penned by one of Assange's former colleague.
Reports is that the movie will be a thriller and pacier than the real incident of Assange's run from the law. The movie will be more like David Fincher's Social Network about the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. Like in that movie many incidents would be taken from various sources and some parts would be fictionalised. That would make it much more interesting to watch and there won't be any need to make a rights deal with Assange.
Social Networks success has made internet a hot topic of Hollywood and we can see a number of movies with the theme in recent years. But with Steven Spielberg at the helm and the story being that of wikileaks we can expect a great movie.
