The Julian Assange Movie is One Step Closer to Existing
Movieline has already given Hollywood a list of directors who might find themselves at home behind the camera of the WikiLeaks movie -- fingers crossed for Roman Polanski, obvs -- and now it appears the project is one step closer to having a script. Julian Assange has scored himself a book deal! "I don't want to write this book, but I have to," Assange told Britain's Sunday Times, presumably after cashing his $1.5 million advance check. Bill Hader, get your headshot ready. Muwhahahaha. [THR via The Wrap]

How bad do you think Assange will freak out when the script gets prematurely released on the internet?
I still say McCauley Culkin is a spitting image. That way the film can involve the NSA coming for him and he uses post-it-note masks and ink toner boobie-traps to evade arrest.
This movie should be called "Hero" or "The Man Who Changed The World."
