Open Road Films released the first trailer for “Snowden” on Tuesday.
The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, who infamously revealed widespread surveillance being perpetrated by the U.S. government.
In the ultimate teaser-trailer tease, JGL is nowhere to be seen. Instead, we get a rundown of Snowden’s career leading up to him becoming one of the most well-known names in the world.
Oliver Stone directed the film, as well as co-wrote the screenplay along with Kieran Fitzgerald. It is based on the books “The Snowden Files” by Luke Harding and “Time of the Octopus” by Anatoly Kucherena.
