JGL in the NSA.
Edward Snowden is one of the most polarizing political figures in modern American history, which means it’s about time for Hollywood to dramatize his already-remarkable life.
The first trailer for Oliver Stone‘s Snowden dropped on Wednesday, and while the movie looks super well-executed, there’s one thing we simply cannot ignore… Joseph Gordon-Levitt‘s voice!

Apparently, Joey is looking for that Oscar, because his vocal choice is so oddly specific, the Academy won’t know what to do but nominate him for Best Actor! LOLz!!!
His impression is somewhere between monotone and terrifying, and Twitter is NOT having it:
Interesting choice for Joseph Gordon-Levitt to use Ted Levine’s Buffalo Bill voice for Edward Snowden. https://t.co/h3jf1vyeYQ

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Edward Snowden voice is the Platonic ideal of “extremely nerds voice”

CONTEST: First person to redub every Joseph Gordon-Levitt line in the SNOWDEN trailer with the Bane voice wins my amusement and respect.
