Charles Ferguson — HBO Director Profile : Wikileaks-Movie.com Documentary Filmmaker Series

Charles Ferguson, Wikileaks HBO Movie Producer

Charles Ferguson, who is at the helm of the HBO Wikileaks Movie project, is the next Director to be highlighted at Wikileaks-Movie.com. We have highlighted Alex Gibney, who is working with Universal on a Wikileaks Documentary film. Although information is scarce at this point, Gibney has indicated to 24 Frames that his film, produced in collaboration with former Universal co-Chairman Mark Shmuger, will highlight the role(s) of “less heralded” persons such as Bradley Manning and Birgitta Jonsdottir. But for this post we’ll focus on Ferguson, who will no-doubt be working just as hard to bring the Wikileaks story to light for HBO audiences. As evidenced by his track-record in film, technology and other arenas he seems to care a great deal about making sense of complexity for audiences and consumers without “dumbing down” the topic matter. And Charles Ferguson will no doubt bring the same care and attention to the Wikileaks Movie HBO project

Will HBO choose Russell Crowe for its Wikileaks Movie? Emile Hirsch? Who will be the Wikileaks Movie Actors? The question on everyone’s mind is: who will play Julian Assange in the upcoming HBO Wikileaks Movie & Film directed by Charles Ferguson? A lot of actors are surely up to the task but we think one of the best choices to play Julian Assange is Russell Crowe. Why would Russell Crowe be a good Wikileaks Movie Actor? The answer is simple: Crowe is the kind of major star who unlike many other actors can drum up a lot of interest for this important film. Furthermore, Crowe is an Australian just like Julian Assange. Finally, Russell Crowe is only seven years older than Assange, making him a good age for the role.

A Movie & Film Producer’s Dream : Wikileaks Releases Only “The Tip of The Iceberg”

April 29, 2011 By Jacob Andrews Leave a Comment

It’s a dream situation for Wikileaks movie and film producers. Julian Assange, in an exclusive interview with RT, has indicated that recent Wikileaks releases are only “the tip of the iceberg.” Think the Guantanamo Files and Collateral Murder video are as sensational and high-impact as it gets? Well…think again.

Charles Ferguson will direct the HBO Wikileaks movie, film and biopic. Ferguson has two widely respected documentary films under his belt, the Academy Award-Winning Inside Job (2010) and No End In Sight: The American Occupation of Iraq (2007). This news from Variety comes amidst sensational news and impacts related to the Wikileaks Gitmo Files dump which has some commentators such as Bill Reilly calling for treason charges against Assange and Wikileaks. Additionally, Alex Gibney “leaked” to 24 Frames the status of his documentary film and movie which will focus on important lesser knowns such as Bradley Manning.

Please read this Wikileaks Movie and Film original. In the Summer of 2010, Raffi Khatchadourian penned an article for the New Yorker which provided an in-depth view into the world of Wikileaks and Julian Assange. At the time, there were very few articles that brought the reader into the day-to-day workings of this organization during its quest for “total transparency” and game changing impact in the world of journalism and diplomacy. The article begins by flying the reader into “Project B” as Julian Assange and team set up shop in Reykjavik, Iceland to work on the release of the now famous “Collateral Murder” video. And from here we are treated to a nearly 10,000 word journey inside the world of Wikileaks and the enigmatic Julian Assange. This literary gem has since been rumored as source material for an upcoming Wikileaks and Julian Assange Movie and Film.
