You’ll Never Guess Who Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is Playing In His New Film


Those who aren’t familiar with the story of Edward Snowden should familiarize themselves with it. The former CIA employee has become a household name, and his story certainly is a fascinating one. The former system administrator gained worldwide fame after he released private documents containing classified information. You can imagine that the NSA was not too happy about that. This was 2013, and now it looks like we’re going to get a film adaption of this monumental event. The public interest level is high right now, people want to learn more about Snowden, and it looks like they’re going to get their chance.

SNOWDEN, is set to hit theaters on December 25th, 2015, and will be directed by the controversial filmmaker, Oliver Stone. He is the right man for the job, to tackle a story like this requires a director of high caliber, and Stone has what it takes. The first photo from the set has been released, which shows Joseph Gordon-Levitt playing the titular character. There is a shocking resemblance between the two. Gordon-Levitt is channeling the character very well.

Oliver Stone has been a hit or miss director of late. This could be a great opportunity for him to make a return. His earlier films were edgy and had an independent feel to them. Recently, his films have seemed very conservative in comparison. The source material at his disposal for SNOWDEN is enough for him to put a fantastic movie together. Hopefully he doesn’t drop the ball.
