TORONTO, Sept 7: Actor Benedict Cumberbatch didn’t get any help from Julian Assange in his preparation to play the founder of WikiLeaks in the film ‘The Fifth Estate,’ and guesses Assange probably won’t like his portrayal, even though the actor sees it as celebration of the activist’s achievements. Cumberbatch said he didn’t have access to the polarizing figure behind the whistleblower website after Assange ‘stated very clearly at the beginning of the project that he didn’t want to condone the film.’ (agencies)
