James McAvoy Replacing Joel Kinnaman in WikiLeaks Movie



Variety reports that James McAvoy is in talks to star alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in Bill Condon's WikiLeaks movie, replacing the previously rumored Joel Kinnaman (back to the drawing board, slash-fictionists). McAvoy is circling the part of Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Julian Assange's one-time right-hand man, who eventually grew wary of Assange's power hunger. You'd think after Atonement that McAvoy would've learned not to trust that handsome, winter-green-eyed devil.

I never got his appeal except that he's a good actor, but then I watched some of him on the Oscar panel back in 2008 and his personality is so attractive that it's transferred over to his looks for me lol.

Parts of the long panel:

Man-baby looking guys are so cute to me. You can imagine how they looked as kids and how their kids will look and it makes me feel broody.

That's kind of an odd replacement...usually people are replaced by those who are lesser known than them. Won't complain though, I miss James.

dnw this movie to portray assange as a fucking god .... he's a rapist pos

and brianna manning better be at least mentioned (although she should be the focus), she's the real hero of wikileaks, and she's still imprisoned/being tortured every day.
jello404 11th-Nov-2012 06:05 pm (UTC)
I never hear anyone ever mention her. Ever. No doubt the movie will be entirely about Asange.
vidriodeperlas 11th-Nov-2012 06:06 pm (UTC)
i know. it fucking sucks.
m_h_p 11th-Nov-2012 06:13 pm (UTC)
If mentioned at all, I've only ever heard Manning referred to as Bradley - which is sad in its own way.

The thing is, films like this thrive on conflict, which means it will probably revolve around Assange's issues. It's easy for Manning to be ignored - which was, of course, the whole point.

This. I would love to see a movie about her, and it would help raise awareness of what she's been/being put through.

I couldn't give a fuck less about Assange, and the blind admiration I've seen of him (by people who consider themselves "progressive") is beyond disgusting.
levant_85 11th-Nov-2012 10:06 pm (UTC)
Julian Assange has been accused of rape. He hasn't been found guilty of rape. You're just going to assume that he's a rapist despite the lack of evidence in court?

There's a reason they can't find any substantial evidence to imprison him. He's wanted in Sweden for questioning.
jello404 11th-Nov-2012 06:03 pm (UTC)
I'm not exactly crazy about James. He's a decent actor but idky he technique just doesn't do it for me. But I'm sure he'll do fine. Benedict and James were brilliant together in Starter for Ten.
sherlockholmes 11th-Nov-2012 06:08 pm (UTC)
I'll be disappointed if James McAvoy doesn't headbutt Benedict Cumberbatch again.
