Assange's legendary story or the screen: The end is not clear

Julian Assange (Tencent Science and Technology map) Tencent Science and Technology (Shimen teenager) Beijing time July 9 News, according to foreign media reports, Time Warner, Global is scrambling to tell WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's legendary story. In order to be the first to bring WikiLeaks and his founder, Julian Assange's legendary story to the big screen, the studios are now getting nervous. But Hollywood also faces a big challenge when it comes to exploiting the ups and downs of the storyline-a story that has no ending is more difficult to beat than a similar product. Mr Assange has been known for his fickle colours. In the face of protracted legal proceedings, he has been fighting and never yielding. His legendary and uncertain experience has also conquered Hollywood studios ' bosses. Hackers and political activists in 2010 declassified the State Department's thousands of secret documents and made them public. Since then, his actions have not only led to the arrest of U.S. soldiers manning for allegedly providing information to WikiLeaks, but more importantly to the global debate over the freedom of the press in the Internet age. To avoid extradition to Sweden, Assange is now seeking refuge in the British Embassy in Ecuador. Earlier, he was wanted by Swedish police for alleged sexual assault. Mr. Assange has denied the allegation, and his spokesman has not responded. Now it is planning to shoot WikiLeaks studios with Time Warner's HBO studios, DreamWorks Studios, Comcast's Universal Studios and Annapurna Pictures, Meggen Erison, a daughter of Ellison, chairman of Oracle's board of directors. However, the studios found it was not easy to put Assange's surprise into play. So far, there are some things that are not clear and easily contentious. The point is that a lot of things are not recorded. For example, no one knows what the Swedish police will do to Mr. Assange, and no one knows if he will be sued in the United States for leaks. It is still unclear what documents will be released next to WikiLeaks. But in recent days, WikiLeaks has claimed to have begun decrypting e-mails about the Syrian government. Now American soldiers, Bradley Manning (Bradley Manning), are also pending cases of criminal prosecution for allegedly supplying materials to WikiLeaks. Holly Bario, the studio director of DreamWorks, Holibario that this is tricky because there are so many unknown and uncertain. She had to admit that she had not had such a dilemma before. So far, only one of Assange's issues is about to come to an end, and there are a few more to wait for. And Assange himself is likely to cause at least one potential story to sink. Mr. Assange's memoirs were originally scheduled to be published in the United States by Alfred A, a Knopf publishing house in random houses, and by creative artists ' brokers to reserve the right to sell them as films and TV dramas. But Knopf Press has beenThe contract between the two parties was canceled in September as Assange failed to complete his memoirs. Therefore, a spokesman pointed out that the new artists brokerage company has no right to represent their memoirs related matters. Although not entitled to the right to photograph Assange's life story, some studios have begun to work. Eugene Eugene Volokh, a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles Law School, mainly engages in the First Amendment study. In his opinion, individuals have the right to dominate their own name or portrait in the commercial use of product advertising or sales. But these names and portrait rights do not extend to public use. This means that the studios can film a biography of Assange without authorization. For example, the Social receptacle, the Facebook-created movie "Social Network", did not get the life story rights of Facebook's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg. On the contrary, the film is based on a book that tells the origins of the company and a lawsuit. Similarly, HBO is filming its own WikiLeaks film, which is based on the story of Assange, who appeared in "New yorker". According to people familiar with the matter, once directed the "Inside (Inside Job)" Charles Ferguson will be the director of the film. Now the film hasn't been officially filmed yet. But a spokesman for HBO confirmed that the film on WikiLeaks was really in the works, and he declined to disclose any details. Other related projects have been postponed because of the gradual development of Assange's real-life stories. For example, DreamWorks chose the WikiLeaks Insider: The day I was with Assange, the most dangerous website in the world, "Inside wikileaks:my times with Julian Assange at the worlds ' Most dangerous WEBSI TE ". The author of the book is a former WikiLeaks spokesman Daniel Domscheit-berg, who left the group after accusing WikiLeaks of abandoning its transparency efforts. DreamWorks also invited a writer, Josh Singer, to write a script based on the book, and the key figure in the script was Mr. Assange. Josh Singer has published "The White House". But the dream factory has been waiting for Assange's further results so that the script will not come out. "We're still watching to see what happens to Assange, because you're going to invest in the story and you have to have a satisfying ending," Barrio said. "Not all studios think so. Universal film is about to be completed by Alex Gibny (Alex Gibney)Guide documentary. Alex Gibny has won an Academy Award for directing "Smart people in the house". Marc Shmuger, the former board chairman of the Schugger, a joint producer of the project, said he wanted to make the film the first truly full story of WikiLeaks. As early as a year ago, when the Swedish police had not wanted Assange, Schugger had agreed with Licks Gibny on the idea and submitted it to the global film and television. Schugger admits he knows there are many challenges to filming a documentary that is still under development. But he thinks it would be better to beat the story now known to a certain extent than to wait for a new plot to get ahead. Schugger also stressed the need to keep in mind that the story of WikiLeaks is still evolving. But the global film and television documentary is not a restatement of these news stories, the goal of which is to tell what kind of people and what they have done to the world today.
