VIDEO Snowden teaser trailer - Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the most wanted man in the world

Here's the teaser for Oliver Stone's take, simply called Snowden.

As the filmmaker behind JFK and Nixon, Stone definitely has an interest in bringing true(ish) stories to the big screen but he's equally the man behind more recent flops like Alexander and Savages. With rights to a couple of non-fiction accounts of Snowden's exciting life over the last couple of years, he has the source material in hand and a strong cast, giving JGL one of his first major dramatic leading roles.

He's got support from Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo (who plays Laura Poitras, the director of the citizenfour documentary), Timothy Olyphant, Zachary Quinto and Nicolas Cage. And it's all ramping up for a Christmas time release so you can expect it to gun for all the Oscars.

Snowden is in cinemas in December 2015.
