Most random Hall H panel ever? I guess this could be decently big with the Reddit crowd, so I can see the overlap.

Nah, Horns (Daniel Radcliffe), Rock the Kasbah (Bill Murray) and Penguins (Benedict Cumberbatch) got Hall H panels. Movies with actors who are geek magnets will get Hall H panels of the studio wants to.

They're premiering this at Comic-Con, of all places?

 

[kowhite]

Well, Nic Cage is in it.  And his name comes from Luke Cage...

 

Ok that's all I got.

i'm really reminded of that bullshit julian assange movie with the 'batch from a couple years ago. that film was absolute dogshit. one of the worst biopics i think i've seen.

 

Yeah, that's the vibe I'm getting from this. Most of these hot-button current affairs pseudobios end up being overwrought, underdone garbage.

Is this a Christmas Movie ?

Release date seems wrong for this.

Christmas? 

 

No, it's about Edward Snowden, the NSA contractor who stole terabytes of secret files and fled the US to seek asylum in  Russia, one of the most restrictive countries in the world, supposedly because he objected to government assaults on civil liberties. His current situation seems oddly fitting. The movie is scheduled for the right time, when it will sink without a trace and be quickly forgotten.

I can also see this screening at TIFF but getting middling reviews. The repeated delays won't be kind to this.

 

I don't think it'll do Fifth Estate numbers, but I'd be shocked if this got over $50m.

Shailene Woodley is the female Liam Hemsworth. Just sucks the energy out of everything she's in.

Well I disagree with you mightily ( She's great in both The Spectacular Now and The Fault in Our Stars) but agree to disagree I guess
