In what should give everyone lots of opinions, the first trailer for The Fifth Estate starring Benedict Cumberbatch has arrived. In a world where anything can go viral really quickly, sensitive information is almost impossible to keep that way. The Wikileaks story is a pretty interesting one and it looks like Bill Condon has made the story even more so. If you’re not familiar with Condon, he’s a pretty good director with films based on true stories with films such as Gods and Monsters and Kinsey. But unfortunately he’s also given us The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2.
That being said, he’s also directed performances that led to five Oscar nominations. And Cumberbatch has the talent that could lead to another. His performance here based off the trailers seems a little weird with his dialouge but the story is extremely fascinating and I think Cumberbatch will make it come alive as he always does.
Anyway, check out the trailer and let us know what you think!
The Fifth Estate hits theaters on October 11th.
