Actress Shailene Woodley is in talks to star as
the female lead in Oscar-winning director Oliver
Stone’s untitled drama on US whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Snowden is an American computer professional who leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA), starting in June 2013.
He has been a subject of controversy as his leaked documents revealed numerous global surveillance programmes, said the Hollywood Reporter.
Woodley, 22, would star opposite Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is tackling the NSA whistleblower in the film, which will be distributed by Open Road in the US, said The Hollywood Reporter. -PTI
