| Video Discription | In We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks, Oscar-winning documentary director Alex Gibney (Taxi to the Dark Side, 2007) explores the operation of whistleblower website WikiLeaks, its figurehead Julian Assange and the leaking of classified US military documents by Bradley Manning. The film originated with producer and former Universal studios co-chairman Marc Shmuger, who "reached out" to Gibney about making a WikiLeaks film. "I was a believer; I was utterly captivated by what they were doing," Shmuger says. And he still is. "I totally am a believer in the mission. Unfortunately, I have less belief in the leader." In his 12 years at the top of the Universal decision tree, Shmuger oversaw a historically successful period, greenlighting such films as Knocked Up, The Bourne Ultimatum, Milk, Mamma Mia and Despicable Me. Two years ago he started up his Santa Monica production house Global Produce, which is being underwritten by Universal. Shmuger notes how having a documentary originate with a producer and studio backing before going to a director is the reverse of how it usually happens. "I'm blessed with ignorance," he says. "It helped not knowing what I was doing." In this interview he discusses the genesis of the film, the importance of maintaining balance and the things he learnt along the way. |
