Check Out the Trailer for the Star-Studded Movie About Edward Snowden

We already had a eerie teaser and confirmed cast for the forthcoming Oliver Stone movie about Edward Snowden, but now we have a full trailer and it is very dramatic. Watch it here to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role along with Nicolas Cage, Shailene Woodley, and Zachary Quinto.

From Academy Award winner @TheOliverStone comes #SnowdenMovie, starring @hitRECordJoe & @ShaileneWoodley – 9/16.https://t.co/ef87zt6b0c

Gordon-Levitt previously mentioned that he hopes this movie will broaden the debate around surveillance in America. Judging by some of the scenes in this trailer — which are most likely dialed up in terms of salaciousness to conform to Hollywood’s standards — Gordon-Levitt will get that wish.

It is clear that this film will take the approach of treating Snowden as more of a hero than a traitor. What do you think about that?
