Joseph Gordon-Levitt is playing two real-life people in 2015 — Philippe Petit in The Walk [1], and then political whistle-blower Edward Snowden in Oliver Stone's biopic, Snowden. We have the first look at Gordon-Levitt as Snowden shooting one of the first scenes, when the man was serving the US. The studio-released shot is also accompanied by Gordon-Levitt's Facebook post [2] this week, in which the actor shows off an additional picture and shares his thoughts about Snowden and filming. Choice JGL musing about director Stone? "F*ck, this guy directed Platoon!" Snowden comes out on Christmas Day 2015.
