WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, who has stirred global controversy by releasing classified documents and communication wires between top government officials, will get his story told on the big screen.

Variety reports that Australian reporter Andrew Fowler’s upcoming biography, “The Most Dangerous Man in the World,” which chronicles the anti-secrecy advocate’s childhood through to present day, has been jointly optioned by Josephson Entertainment and Michelle Krumm Productions.

Since founding the Wiki-Leaks site in 2006, Assange has published secret cables about everything from American involvement in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to Church of Scientology manuals.

L.H. Adonis, Michell Krumm and Barry Josephson will handle producing duties.

“As soon as I met Andrew and read a few chapters of his profound book, I knew that — with his incredibly extensive depth of knowledge — it would enable us to bring a thought-provoking thriller to the screen,” Krumm said.

Josephson said, “Like ‘All the President’s Men’ in its day, ‘The Most Dangerous Man in the World’ is this generation’s suspenseful drama with global impact.”
