Winner Trailer: Emilia Jones Star Takes on the Real-Life Story of a Reality Winner a Year After Sydney Sweeney

As an ardent fan who has closely followed the compelling story of Reality Winner, I am absolutely thrilled to witness Emilia Jones step into this captivating role! Her portrayal in CODA has already proven her exceptional talent, and I have no doubt that she will bring a nuanced and deeply moving performance to this intriguing character.


In a forthcoming movie, actress Emilia Jones will portray Reality Winner, a former NSA contractor. On August 29, the film’s trailer was made public by Vertical, and it was exclusively revealed to PEOPLE first.

In the spotlight primarily for her performance in CODA, Jones portrays Winner, a figure notorious for releasing confidential documents to the press. The trailer offers a sneak peek into Winner’s biography, starting with her humble beginnings in Texas. It chronicles her journey from her early years, through her service in the United States Air Force, and culminating at the National Security Agency (NSA) where she worked.

The movie chronicles Whistleblower’s crucial choice to disclose top-secret documents to The Intercept, exposing Russia’s attempts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Consequently, Whistleblower was apprehended and imprisoned for over four years due to the data leak.

The movie not only examines the political and legal fallout from Winner’s decisions, but also offers a glimpse into her personal background, shedding light on the factors driving her to disclose confidential data. By emphasizing these elements, the film aims to offer a deeper perspective on Winner’s life story and the wide-ranging impact of her actions.

In an interview with IndieWire back in January, Jones shared that during her research for the role, she had a profound relationship with Winner. She explained, “Our goal with this film is to humanize her, showing that she’s not just a news headline but a complex individual.”

In the realm of entertainment, I had the privilege of portraying the captivating character known as Winner, who shared the screen with the talented Sydney Sweeney in HBO’s 2023 film titled “Reality.” This gripping production was based on an interview transcript from June 3, 2017, between Winner and FBI agents.
