DreamWorks acquires 2 'WikiLeaks' books

[Paroxysm]

EXCLUSIVE: DreamWorks has officially entered the derby to turn the story of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks into a feature film. The studio has acquired rights to two books by pivotal players in the WikiLeaks drama. DreamWorks has secured screen rights to Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website, the Crown book by Daniel Domscheit-Berg. He's the former top WikiLeaks former executive who defected because he wanted WikiLeaks to exercise journalistic discretion instead of the document dump that took place. DreamWorks has also bought WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy, written by David Leigh and Luke Harding, the two journalists from the UK-based The Guardian who worked with Assange on bringing his first revelations into play through their paper, as well as Der Spiegel and The New York Times. That book was published by Guardian Books. They detail their dealings with Assange, who at one point hid from the CIA in Leigh's London house. The book covers the WikiLeaks phenomenon from its 2006 launch onward.
