It’s J. Edgar Hoover — on a bike!
Actually, it’s Oscar-nominated modelizer Leonardo DiCaprio in character as the first director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on the set of J. Edgar, a Dustin Lance Black-penned biopic directed by Clint Eastwood. The film co-stars Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, the man many believe was not just Hoover’s right-hand man, but his bedfellow. Also on board are Judi Dench, Josh Lucas, Ed Westwick, Naomi Watts as Helen Gandy, a Justice Department clerk who is selected to be Hoover’s personal secretary.
Hoover — who believed the Civil Rights Movement was an anti-government conspiracy — died of a heart attack in 1972.
J. Edgar opens in 2012.
