May 5, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 5 Comments

Mark Boal is on a script-writing and screenplay tear for both the Osama Bin Laden Movie and Wikileaks Movie! The Oscar-winning writer is among those attached to hot projects. One, about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as well as another relating to the US Government’s hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Boal, who won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for The Hurt Locker in 2009, is rumored to be set to write the screenplay for a Wikileaks movie about Assange and the controversy surrounding the release of classified U.S. government documents. The Wikileaks movie Boal is involved with will be produced by talent managing consultant firm Management 360 in connection with financier and producer Megan Ellison. But many have questioned whether Mark Boal has enough time to work on this, the Osama Bin Laden movie, as well as other high profile projects. This remains to be seen! But for our team at Wikileaks-Movie.com, this is a topic we’ll track closely.

Question: Will the Wikileaks movie or Julian Assange documentary “Leak” new information to bring the herds into theaters and shock people out of their seats? For instance, will Cablegate be furthered by a movie or documentary releasing an as-yet-unleaked cable? Will any of the information passed to Wikileaks by Rudolf Elmer come out for the first time in the theaters across the globe? Will we learn something about a certain leader, diplomat or radical tell it like it is lefty celebrity like Michael Moore?
