Oscar-winning director Oliver Stones big-screen dramatisation of Edward Snowdens mass surveillance revelations will be released on 25 December, distributor Open Road Films said on Friday.
Snowden will star Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the NSA whistleblower who leaked details of US and British surveillance and electronic monitoring programs.
Filming has begun in Munich and will move to other locations before its expected completion in May.
Shailene Woodley, Melissa Leo, Zachary Quinto and Tom Wilkinson will also star in the film, adapted from books The Snowden Files by Guardian journalist Luke Harding and Time of the Octopus by Anatoly Kucherena, Snowdens lawyer.
