Filming has just begun on "The Fifth Estate," a movie focused on the drama surrounding WikiLeaks and Julian Assange — and now, a displeased Assange says that he's managed to obtain a copy of the script.

Assange critiqued the film in a speech at the Oxford Union, wrote AP, the video of which is embedded below.

"It is a mass propaganda attack against WikiLeaks, the organization (and) the character of my staff," said Assange to an audience of largely youthful onlookers.

"It is not just an attack against us, it is an attack against Iran. It fans the flames of an attack against Iran," Assange added, claiming that it contributed to Western fears of an Iranian nuclear program, which he said were being "ramped up" by the Western media.
