Oliver Stone's “Snowden” to get Europe premiere at San Sebastian Festival
Oliver Stone's biopic “Snowden”, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the NSA whistleblower, will get its European premiere at the 64th edition of the San Sebastian Festival, The Hollywood Reporter writes.
According to the source, the cast also includes Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo and Nicolas Cage.
It will be Stone’s seventh visit to the festival, but the first time one of his films has been included in the official selection. In 1986, he brought Salvador to the event for a screening that marked the first at the big Velodrome, where he later also showed “Natural Born Killers” (1994) and “World Trade Center” (2006).
His films “Talk Radio” (1989), “Looking for Fidel” (2004), “Alexander: The Ultimate Cut and The Untold History of the United States” (2013) were also all screened at the festival. In 2012, Stone received the Donostia Award for lifetime achievement at the festival.
San Sebastian festival runs September 16-24.
