Silver-haired fugitive Julian Assange is currently enjoying the fast-paced lifestyle inside of Ecuador’s London Embassy, so he probably won’t be able to make it to the Toronto debut of Underground: The Julian Assange Story, the new Australian telefilm about the early years of the WikiLeaks founder.

Anthony LaPaglia and Rachel Griffiths throw off their fake American TV accents, playing the lawman tracking Assange and Assange’s mother, respectively. Watch the trailer:
