OLIVER STONE IN BAVARIA

Oliver Stone’s “Edward Snowden” project is the next big film to benefit from the special program for international co-productions introduced by the Bavarian state government two years ago. With 1.6 million euros from FilmFernsehFonds Bayern, the multiple Oscar^® and Golden Globe-winning director will be shooting his latest film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Munich in February, followed by further shooting at locations in Hong Kong and the USA.
