WikiLeaks Movie & Documentary Film Update- Alex Gibney, The “Dishevelled Columbo” on a Quest for Understanding the WikiLeaks Story

July 23, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 1 Comment

WikiLeaks Movie and documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney was recently interviewed by Karl Quinn of The Sydney Morning Herald. Gibney, who has two films showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival, is on a fascinating trek to understand and convey the “globe girdling” WikiLeaks story. This trek has taken Gibney to Iceland for interviews with Birgitta Jonsdottir, to Magnetic Island, Oklahoma USA and many other locales. Alex Gibney clearly recognizes the hilarity and challenge of his effort as it takes place simultaneously to other WikiLeaks movie and film projects. Branding himself ”a more dishevelled Columbo, shuffling along trying to understand what’s going on,” it is this dogged, detective-like approach to film making that may ensure his WikiLeaks documentary film project stands out in the eyes of history.

May 18, 2011 By Jacob Andrews 4 Comments

Marc Shmuger is the former co-chairman of Universal Pictures and a key Wikileaks Documentary Filmmaker and co-producer working with director Alex Gibney. The Wikileaks movie and film projects, the really successful, educational and entertaining ones, must be led and crafted by first rate producers and directors. With this in mind, the Wikileaks film will be the first project of Shmuger’s new Universal-based production company, Global Produce, which will be headquartered in Santa Monica and will have a first-look deal with Universal.

Marc Shmuger and Oscar-winner documentary director Alex Gibney are well underway with this project, interviewing key players in the Wikileaks story including Birgitta Jonsdottir and others. Recently, Marc Shmuger described this Wikileaks collaboration and project as his “Labor of Love” which is good news for movie fans and people interested in bringing the Wikileaks and Julian Assange story to life on film in as authentic and entertaining fashion as possible.

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.

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.
