The Fifth Estate
Benedict Cumberbatch has already got a range of exciting acting roles under his belt, and now another one is on the horizon.
He is set to play Julian Assange in The Fifth Estate, a movie that looks at the birth of WikiLeaks and the people behind it.
This is another huge role for the British actor, and he is sent to see his star rocket even further.
Here is a new trailer for the film for you to check out:
The movie sees Bill Condon back in the director's chair for the first time since The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 last year.
A terrific cast has been brought together as Daniel Bruhl, Stanley Tucci, Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie, David Thewlis and Alicia Vikander are all on board.
Following Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Brühl), an early supporter and eventual colleague of Julian Assange (Cumberbatch), 'The Fifth Estate' traces the heady, early days of WikiLeaks, culminating in the release of a series of controversial and history changing information leaks.
The website’s overnight success brought instant fame to its principal architects and transformed the flow of information to news media and the world at large.
There are so many fantastic and unmissable movies heading our way at the beginning of 2014, and The Fifth Estate is just one of them.
The Fifth Estate is released 1st January 2014.
