Snowden’s revelations about the NSA are a natural prospect for filmmakers. Whether he is viewed as a noble whistleblower or a traitor, some in the film world are interested in telling his story. Four young filmmakers based in Hong Kong have done it already. Called Verax, their short film, which features an actor who closely resembles Snowden, has had over 200,000 views since it went online. But what about Hollywood and beyond? Oliver Stone has described Snowden as a hero, and Australian director, Phillip Noyce has expressed interest in making a film about him. Not everyone is a fan, however. Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has expressed dislike for Snowden’s actions and is not interested in making a film about him any time soon. So although his is a story which fiercely divides opinion, it looks likely that Snowden could be the subject for a feature film in the near future.
