Bill Condon’s Julian Assange film, based on Daniel Domscheit-Berg’s book ‘Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange At The World’s Most Dangerous Website’, had previously cast Benedict Cumberbatch to play Assange and now rumours have surfaced that James McAvoy will be joining the cast. McAvoy is reportedly set to play Assange’s right hand man Domscheit-Berg. Previously it was rumoured that future RoboCop Joel Kinnaman was to play the role, but he seems to have lost out to McAvoy.
Steve Golin, Michael Sugar and Bard Dorros are producing the film, set to start shooting next year.
