Were you hoping that the first trailer for Snowden, Oliver Stone's upcoming political biopic, would include a glimpse of Joseph Gordon-Levitt as the bespectacled title character? What about a look at Shailene Woodley as Snowden's longtime girlfriend, Lindsay Mills?

Too bad; you're out of luck. Instead, the moody teaser features close-up shots of an American flag, excerpts from Snowden's biography -- "Army recruit at 20. Joined CIA at 22. NSA contractor at 26. By age 29, the most wanted man in the world" -- and a gloomy cover of "This Little Light of Mine."

Also, at the end, it turns out the flag has been upside-down the whole time. Twist!
