A new full length trailer has been released for the upcoming biopic Snowden from director Oliver Stone, which takes a look at the life of famous NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The film also stars Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom Wilkinson, Rhys Ifans, and Nicolas Cage.
Snowden was originally supposed to be released last year around Oscar season, but it got pushed back several times since then, with Stone saying he needed more time to put some final touches on it. As of now, the release date is set for theaters nationwide September 16, 2016.
Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who brought Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK to the big screen, tackles the most important and fascinating true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.
