"Edward Snowden is heading to Hollywood. \nNews broke Wednesday that Sony Pictures Entertainment had optioned rights to No Place to Hide, a new book by journalist Glenn Greenwald, whose reporting on the NSA leaks and Snowden won The Guardian a Pulitzer Prize. \nSee also: Edward Snowden: The Biggest Revelations Are Yet to Come\nThe movie's development is in its early stages, and is still missing a cast, screenwriter and director (our pick is David Fincher, considering his successful track record with turning Internet-y books into movies for Sony, including 2010's The Social Network). \nTo help Sony out, we rounded up a list of actors for our dream cast, including top picks for Snowden, the journalists and a few NSA officials. \n\n\nEdward Snowden Movie: Our Dream Cast\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEdward Snowden\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...played by Edward Norton \n\nNorton has been known to play intelligent characters who are also somewhat troubled -- sounds like a good fit, here. Plus, they already share the same name.  \nOther options: Ryan Gosling, Alexander Skarsgard, Andrew Garfield or Benedict Cumberbatch. \n\n\nImage: Chris Pizzello/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaura Poitras \nOne of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guardian journalists who reported on the NSA leaks. \n\nImage: Charles Sykes/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus\nNobody plays a strong, successful leading lady like JLD.  \n\nImage: Richard Shotwell/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGlenn Greenwald\nOne of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Guardian journalists who reported on the NSA leaks. \n\nImage: Kin Cheung/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...played by a young Dustin Hoffman \nOld-school Hoffman's got the same boyish grin as Greenwald, as well as the attitude of a hard-hitting journalist. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBarton Gellman\nLed The Washington Post's coverage on the NSA documents provided by Snowden. \n\nImage: Pablo Martinez Monsivais/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...played by Aziz Ansari \nGive Ansari a chance to showcase his dramatic-acting chops. We're predicting Oscar buzz.  \n\nImage: Chris Pizzello/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKeith Alexander\nThe former director of the NSA.\n\nImage: Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n...played by Dennis Quaid\nTough on the outside, soft on the inside -- that's what NSA directors are made of, right? \n\nImage: Richard Shotwell/Invision/Associated Press\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave something to add to this story?
