Snowden‘s first teaser trailer is just that – a big tease. The one minute 26 second teaser doesn’t show a single bit of footage from the film based on the books The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World’s Most Wanted Man by Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena, nor does it even feature a single shot of Snowden star Joseph Gordon-Levitt in character as Edward Snowden. Instead, the teaser lays out a very simple timeline of key events in Snowden’s life.
Written and directed by Oliver Stone, Snowden also features Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Tom Wilkinson, Rhys Ifans, and Nicolas Cage. Open Road Films is releasing the dramatic movie on December 25, 2015.
