For a movie about a guy (in)famous for leaking classified information, Nicolas Cage.

The first teaser trailer doesn't focus on the cast. It doesn't show them at all. It only lists their names at the end, after a series of facts are shown about the real Edward Snowden (who is also not shown at all). Here's what we see, amid close-up shots of an American flag, as pensive piano music plays:

- Army recruit at 20
- ed CIA at 22
- NSA contractor at 26
- By age 29 the most wanted man in the world

Then we see the upside-down flag, which is meant to be a sign of distress, and also used in the "House of Cards" logo. Check it out:


The December 25 release date suggests Oscar ambitions, but it's hard to know what to think without any footage. That's why they call it a teaser!

Watch the trailer.
