Editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger told the newspaper the film would be "Woodward and Bernstein meets Stieg Larsson meets Jason Bourne, plus the odd moment of sheer farce and, in Julian Assange, a compelling character who goes beyond what any Hollywood scriptwriter would dare to invent".
"WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's war on secrecy", by Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding, details the Australian former computer hacker's life and times and their dealings with him over the release of US cables.

Assange is currently fighting extradition from Britain to Sweden where he is wanted for questioning over allegations of rape, which he denies.
DreamWorks Studios were founded in 1994 by Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen.
