Speaking with The Guardian, which will be consulting on the story, Stone says: "This is one of the greatest stories of our time, a real challenge. I'm glad to have the Guardian working with us."
Harding was a journalist at the British paper which was involved in the early revelations about the material Edward Snowden leaked to the media a year ago. Charged with espionage, Snowden exiled himself to Russia where he's been living ever since. The secrets dealt with the U.S. government's intelligence-gathering operations, especially the NSA.
Moritz Borman will produce the film
Production is due to start before the end of the year.
The pic is also in competition with a rival Snowden film, an adaptation of Glenn Greenwald's just released book "No Place to Hide" that James Bond film series producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli are attached to produce.
