Wikileaks Movie News, Films, Art, Movies, Interviews & Reviews
Wikileaks-Movie.com is pleased to introduce you to filmmaker James Spione, winner of a 2011 Tribeca Film Festival award for his documentary short Incident in New Baghdad. This film, profiled recently on this site, offers a fundamentally important view into Ethan McCord’s experience in the Iraq War and, more specifically, the Collateral Murder incident which Ethan witnessed first-hand and a video of which WikiLeaks later released.
Wikileaks-Movie.com is pleased to share this interview with world renowned Wikileaks inspired artist Michael Parenti (aka @exiledsurfer). He is a devoted artist who likes tacos, enjoys playing “Politricks,” was taught to surf by Sean Penn and….gave us goosebumps when he wrote to us on what motivates him as an artist…”That is the How, and the Why i do it. I have to, otherwise i wouldn’t be me.” This is first of what we hope will be many articles and interviews about artists, film makers and cultural creatives who are somehow taking part in broad and wide-ranging discussion sparked by Wikileaks and Julian Assange. We strive to raise awareness of these talented visionaries and…well…see where the wave takes us. Enjoy and we extend our best wishes and thanks to @exiledsurfer Michael Parenti for allowing us (and you) to ride along on his creative surfboard.
A book could be written about this Wikileaks Film Maker Alex Gibney! He is an accomplished documentary film director and producer who has achieved a great deal in his career and continues to tackle tough, important and interesting projects. As reported previously, Universal will fund Gibney’s Wikileaks film project. This project is well underway, with interviews taking place with key players who are involved in the Wikileaks affair including Birgitta Jonsdotttir.
Will Al Pacino play the role of CIA Director Leon Panetta in the upcoming Osama Bin Laden Movie? Movie fans who have been actively following Wikileaks Movie news definitely have some other movies to talk about. We recently wrote about the Osama Bin Laden movie in the works by writer Mark Boal and Director Kathryn Bigelow. And now, straight from the likes of Politico.com and Leon Panetta there’s a great discussion going on regarding which actor should play his role in the Osama Bin Laden Movie. This may be a tangent from our pure focus on all things Wikileaks, but since Julian Assange and Wikileaks have released information on the War on Terror, Guantanamo Bay (Gitmo) and the secret (or perhaps not so secret) location of Bin Laden we hope you agree with this “stretch” into related movie terrain. Leon Panetta, as the Director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), definitely has a foot in both worlds of Wikileaks, Al Qaida and Bin Laden. Perhaps he will be featured in both movie projects by the same actor? Wouldn’t that be crazy? Probably unlikely but who knows!!!
Wikileaks-Movie.com alert! As many of you know Alex Gibney of Jigsaw Productions interviewed Birgitta Jonsdottir this past weekend. As a follow-up, Birgitta has shared her “take” with the Wikileaks-Movie.com community. Birgitta Jonsdottir has played a key role in the Wikileaks story and has “stepped out” to claim a position on issues relating to Wikileaks, freedom of information, Bradley Manning and a host of other topics. Her perspective will no doubt be incorporated into the Wikileaks movie, film and documentary projects as she has been a key activist in the trials and tribulations of Wikileaks including the release of the Collateral Murder video.
Birgitta Jonsdottir will be interviewed by Director Alex Gibney for the Wikileaks Documentary Film, further documentation that this film project funded by Universal Pictures is well underway. This update comes from Birgitta, a member of the “Twitter Three” and Icelandic Parliament who has been active in many causes including Wikileaks. And now her influence will be felt and seen in the Wikileaks documentary film by Alex Gibney. Birgitta has a compelling experience to share and a definite perspective on Wikileaks, Julian Assange and other major global issues. The update on this interview was actually shared as a Facebook and Twitter post from Birgitta Jonsdottir. Hopefully Birgitta will let us know how the interview went!
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.
The recent Wikileaks release of over 700 Guantanamo Files, purported to be obtained via CD or DVD by Wikileaks, has further brought to light the impact of Bradley Manning, Julian Assange and the organization he founded to create “total transparency.” The last 48 hours has witnessed a flurry of press coverage analyzing this story from all angles and US Government statements condemning this latest release. At Wikileaks-Movie.com we are soaking it in, imagining how this latest turn of events will be interpreted by the DreamWorks Studios of the world incorporated into the Wikileaks movie, film and documentary projects. Moreover how will creative artists like Courage is Contagious and the Exiled Surfer interpret all of this visually? Supposedly there is a DVD on Wikileaks to be released in early May. This comes right after James Spione’s film on “Collateral Murder” was featured at Tribeca. It’s too late for these DVD and film projects to weave in the GITMO files, but you can bet that the Guantanamo Files will be an interesting subject of focus in future productions.
What is the mission of Wikileaks-Movie.com? As Wikileaks Movie, Film and Documentary projects proliferate it is important that the team at Wikileaks-Movie.com clarifies our mission and purpose. At root, we are volunteers and active, hard-working citizens who like you are addictively interested in the Wikileaks story and journey of Julian Assange as well as others including Rudolf Elmer, Bradley Manning, P.J. Crowley and Anonymous. If there has ever been a topic that over 10 movies, films or documentaries should cover, the story of Wikileaks, Cablegate and Bradley Manning is it! And because of the fact that so many books, video, film and movie shops are “getting the picture” and jumping in there is a need to cover as much as possible of this critically important action. And Wikileaks-Movie.com is excited to first to jump into the mix and fill this need.
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.
