The script for the upcoming WikiLeaks film The Fifth Estate has allegedly been leaked on the internet – by WikiLeaks, of course.

Although the post by WikiLeaks says the organization obtained several different drafts of the script from various sources, it has posted what it says is "a mature version, obtained at a late stage during the principal photography of 2013," and that there have been "no significant changes" since then besides the location of one scene shifting from Iran to Libya. The post also includes extensive talking points criticizing the accuracy of the film "and why the film is, from WikiLeaks’ perspective, irresponsible, counterproductive and harmful."

In an internal memo posted alongside the screenplay, WikiLeaks calls the film "work of fiction masquerading as fact" and offers a point-by-point listing of its concerns with the film's creative liberties, including depictions of harm caused by WikiLeaks, the role of Daniel Domscheit-Berg, and the discussion of charges against Assange. It notes that "there are very high stakes involved in how WikiLeaks is perceived. This film does not occur in a historical vacuum, but appears in the context of ongoing efforts to bring a criminal prosecution against WikiLeaks and Julian Assange for exposing the activities of the Pentagon and the US State Department."

The film, which opens on October 18, depicts the early days of the whistleblower site through its massive release of video and diplomatic cables in 2010. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is played by actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who recently told The Guardian that he received a "10-page e-mail" from Assange asking him not to accept the role. While Cumberbatch says he struggled with the decision to accept, he believes the film ultimately "shows [Assange's] ideas and integrity and self-sacrifice."

Assange has previously criticized The Fifth Estate, calling it the "anti-WikiLeaks" movie and saying it sought to portray him as a "sociopathic megalomaniac" – possibly referencing comments by Cumberbatch in Vogue that he had "collided paths because [director Bill Condon] did seem to be setting him up as this antisocial megalomaniac."

Earlier this month, Condon responded to this criticism, telling WIRED that "there’s not a hint of truth to that, and obviously when you see the movie you can see that. I have to say this is a tactic of Julian’s, which is to sort of set up these straw men and distract from what the movie is actually trying to do. We portrayed a complex guy who is flawed, god help him, as all of us are."

Although most of the memo's criticism focused on the accuracy of the events in the film and its various characters, WikiLeaks offered a more subjective evaluation of the film on Twitter:
