DreamWorks Pictures has released the first trailer for director Bill Condon's latest project The Fifth Estate (2013), starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Alicia Vikander, Carice van Houten, Stanley Tucci, Laura Linney, David Thewlis, Daniel Brühl, and Moritz Bleibtreu. The film is set to open in theaters across the United States on October 11th.
Official synopsis: Through the eyes of Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Brühl), an early supporter and eventual colleague of Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch), the film follows the heady, early days of Wikileaks to its abrupt end after a series of controversial and history changing info leaks. The website's overnight success brought instant fame to its principal architects, but as their power expanded across the globe, Daniel grew increasingly disillusioned with Julian's questionable tactics and ethics. The rift between the two friends became irreparable and their ideological differences tore them apart, but not before they revolutionized, for better and worse, the flow of information to news media and the world at large.
