Wikileaks Movie Coming To the Big Screen
Hugh Pickens writes "First Facebook and now Wikileaks as the Guardian reports that studio executives have 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. Producers Barry Josephson and Michelle Krumm, who have optioned The Most Dangerous Man in the World, say they are planning a 'suspenseful drama' in the vein of All the President's Men and with the thrill of a Tom Clancy novel. 'As soon as I met Andrew and read a few chapters of his profound book, I knew that – with his incredibly extensive depth of knowledge – it would enable us to bring a thought-provoking thriller to the screen,' says Krumm."
there is a big difference between having a big ego and accomplishing great things (JFK, Neil Armstrong, MLK) and being Paris Hilton famous which is what Julian Assange is - he is a famous for being famous, he is not doing anything to better humankind or help people.
Awww, looks like I struck a nerve with the self-righteous douche. Hey, go ahead and post all your personal info since you're so in to openness and transparency.
and you're so obsessed with my manner than you refuse to address the meat of my statements. Image over substance, that's a good little Assange fanboy.
