PanARMENIAN.Net - Benedict Cumberbatch and Julian Assange are reportedly in regular contact via email, Digital Spy said.
Cumberbatch portrays the WikiLeaks co-founder in Bill
Condon's upcoming drama The Fifth Estate, which Assange had previously slammed
as "a massive propaganda attack".
However, The Sun reports that Assange now emails
Cumberbatch regularly, having initially rebuffed the actor's request to meet
him when he was first cast.
"Assange now thinks Benedict better understands his
actions and motivations," a source said.
Daniel Brühl also stars as Assange's business associate
Daniel Domscheit-Berg, whose book WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the
World's Most Dangerous Website partially formed the basis of the film's script.
Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie, David Thewlis, Peter
Capaldi and Alicia Vikander feature in the film's supporting cast.
The Fifth Estate will be released in the US on November
15, with a UK release date yet to be set.
