Oliver Stone's SNOWDEN Gets a Massively Improved Comic-Con Trailer

Inexplicably, Oliver Stone's Snowden had a presentation in Hall H at Comic-Con earlier this afternoon. It's not exactly the type of movie I'd expect to really bowl over the geek crowd, but I have to admit, this brand new trailer for the movie is a hell of an improvement over the previous marketing materials for it. I still think the slowed down cover of "When The Saints Go Marching In" is a terrible song choice, but that's largely because I'm over that entire cliche of slowed down covers in movie trailers as a whole, not because this trailer chose a song that didn't line up with its thematics or anything. (Still, I can't help but feel like we should all just go watch the excellent Oscar-winning documentary Citizenfour instead of this version of the story.)

In any case, Snowden — which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley, Tom Wilkinson, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto, Rhys Ifans, and Nicolas Cage — hits theaters on September 16, 2016.
