Dustin Hoffman may star in Edward Snowden film

Dustin Hoffman is in negotiations to join cast of the upcoming Edward Snowden drama.

The project, which is to be helmed by Oliver Stone, would see the 77-year-old actor join Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who's playing the lead, and The Fault In Our Stars actress Shailene Woodley, who's currently in talks to play his girlfriend, the New York Post reported.

If the deal works out, Hoffman would either play a mentor of Snowden's at the National Security Agency or a politician in the film, which is also being produced by Stone.

The untitled film, which is based on two books, Luke Harding's The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man and an upcoming novel by Snowden's attorney Anatoly Kucherena, would begin filming in January in Germany, Hong Kong, Washington, DC, and Hawaii.
