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]
