International
secret-buster Julian Assange says he's launching his very own television
series. The guests haven't been disclosed, but the 40-year-old Australian has
promised to give viewers more of what he's been supplying for years:
Controversy. The group’s founder will host 10 half-hour episodes that
will be conversations between Assange and “controversial voices from across the
political spectrum— iconoclasts, visionaries and power insiders — each to offer
a window on the world tomorrow and their ideas on how to secure a brighter
future.”

"Through
this series I will explore the possibilities for our future in conversations
with those who are shaping it," Assange said in a statement. "Are we
heading towards utopia, or dystopia and how we can set our paths? This is an
exciting opportunity to discuss the vision of my guests in a new style of show
that examines their philosophies and struggles in a deeper and clearer way than
has been done before."

How the show
will be produced and who will carry it remain open questions. Wikileaks has
said they plan for the show to be broadcast on cable, satellite and terrestrial
networks.
There are few
details about the show, other than that it will air in March and requsts for
licensing deals can be sent through Quick Roll
Productions, a Web site that the Associated Press discovered only launched two weeks
ago.
