Oliver Stone isn’t one to shy away from controversial subjects. In his latest, he explores the world of Edward Snowden, a man who is a traitor to some and a hero to others. Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo and Zachary Quinto, the film examines Snowden and what lead to him releasing the information he did to the American public. The feature delivers a solid performance from it’s leading man, and it may be the best Stone film in quite a long time. Read Chris Bumbray's review for the film HERE.
Recently we had the chance to chat with Gordon-Levitt, Leo, Quinto as well as Scott Eastwood, who has a brief role in the new film. This was my first time interviewing Joseph, and I was very impressed with his work here. He opened up about playing this character, and all that went into it. The actor is really terrific in what may be one of his best performances to date.
Quinto and Leo also discussed why they took this film on, and the importance of the story that Stone is telling. They are clearly passionate about getting this film out there. As well, talking to Scott Eastwood was a real pleasure. The actor is very down-to-earth and friendly. We talked about working on SNOWDEN plus the fact that he is joining the crew in FAST 8. The actor is seriously switching gears for that.
SNOWDEN opens this Friday.
