Assange Says No to Star
We've reported on the first major non-doc film on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, and now The Fifth Estate star Benedict Cumberbatch reports that Julian would not meet with him to help with role. Still, he thinks Assange is quite "gifted" and should be "celebrated." He explains: "He didn't want to meet me because he feels the source materials we've
based the movie on were poisonous to his account of the events. When he sees
it I hope he feels that it's more balanced. I think he will. I hope he will."
