it is revealed that James Bond producers are ready to make a movie on Edward Snowden story.

Sony Pictures has revealed that they have purchased the rights to journalist Glenn Grenwald's new book 'No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the US Surveillance State' and they are all prepared to take it to the big screen, the Verge reported.

The 47-year-old author said that he has always been heavily influenced by political films, and so he is very excited about the opportunity to be part of a political film that will appeal to the movie fanatics.

Speculations are rife that the story will revolve around how Snowden and Greenwald shook the NSA to its core.

However, it is still not clear as when the movie will hit the theatres.
