The Oscar-winning director tweeted a picture of him with Assange from the Equador Embassy in London last Thursday.
Assange has been holed up in the embassy as he seeks to avoid extradition to Sweden to face questioning over sexual assault allegations. He fears Sweden would hand him over to the US.
"A sad occasion in that Julian could not follow me out the door. He lives in a tiny room with great modesty and discipline," Stone tweeted.
He also criticised upcoming two WikiLeaks films - The Fifth Estate starring Sherlock’s Benedict Cumberbatch, and documentary We Steal Secrets.
"Strong mind, no sun, friends who visit, work to be done, one documentary coming out from Alex Gibney that is not expected to b [sic] kind," he tweeted. "Another film from Dreamworks which is also going to be unfriendly."
"Julian Assange did much for free speech and is now being victimised by the abusers of that concept."
