A new book on the WikiLeaks saga has been optioned as a movie. Here's who we would cast.

The Most Dangerous Man in the World, a biography about WikiLeaks Editor in Chief Julian Assange, has just been optioned as a movie, according to reports. Since Assange is the public face of WikiLeaks, expect much of the movie to be about the recent WikiLeaks saga.

WikiLeaks' story has been unfolding before our eyes for months. If you're somehow unfamiliar with WikiLeaks, the site started as a way to spread information without fear of reprisal.

Throughout 2010, WikiLeaks uncovered things that some would rather remain secret. There was the video leak of the military's reprehensible behavior dubbed "Collateral Murder". And then there was Cablegate: over 200,000 United States diplomatic cables became public. These cables contained the brutally honest, unfiltered thoughts of diplomats and their opinions on other international figures (which were none too nice).

The United States government did not take kindly to this breach of security and publicly condemned WikiLeaks. Additionally, companies associated with WikiLeaks, such as its hosting service and banks accepting donations for the site, started distancing themselves from the company. During this time, Assange became the subject of rape charges, and his subsequent arrest made headlines.

While Julian Assange's reign as editor was interrupted, the success of WikiLeaks was not. Mirror sites and an "insurance policy" were seeded online. (The insurance policy is a huge torrent file thought to contain thousands of leaked documents and could be activated using a password that would be published if anything happened to Assange.)

All of this sounds like it would make for a great movie, doesn't it? So who should star in WikiLeaks: The Movie? We've played casting director here. Find out which actors we think should bring the story to the big screen.
