Oliver Stone to Make Film About Edward Snowden 
-----------------------------------------------


 
Academy Award-winning director Oliver Stone has announced plans to make
a film about National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Stone, whose past films include "Platoon," "JFK" and "Born on the Fourth
of July," will base his film on "The Snowden Files," a book by Guardian
journalist Luke Harding. Sony Pictures, meanwhile, has acquired the
rights to make a film based on journalist Glenn Greenwald's book about
Snowden, "No Place to Hide," which will be produced by the makers of the
James Bond films.
