"Benedict Cumberbatch and Julian Assange are reportedly in regular contact via email. Cumberbatch portrays the WikiLeaks co-founder in Bill Condon&amp;#039;s upcoming drama The Fifth Estate, which Assange had previously slammed as &amp;quot;a massive propaganda attack&amp;quot;.    However, The Sun reports that Assange now emails Cumberbatch regularly, having initially rebuffed the actor&amp;#039;s request to meet him when he was first cast.  &amp;quot;Assange now thinks Benedict better understands his actions and motivations,&amp;quot; a source said.  Daniel Br\u00C3\u00BChl also stars as Assange&amp;#039;s business associate Daniel Domscheit-Berg, whose book WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World&amp;#039;s Most Dangerous Website partially formed the basis of the film&amp;#039;s script. Laura Linney, Anthony Mackie, David Thewlis, Peter Capaldi and Alicia Vikander feature in the film&amp;#039;s supporting cast.  The Fifth Estate will be released in the US on November 15, with a UK release date yet to be set. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
