First Look at Leonardo DiCaprio as J.Edgard Hoover


  In what will surely become one of his most rewarding roles ever, Leonardo DiCaprio portrays FBI founder J. Edgard Hoover in an upcoming film about the life of such enigmatic character, directed by Clint Eastwood.

 The first pictures of the film have surfaced (courtesy of EW), and DiCaprio appears to be loving the advantages of playing such an interesting and conflicted person:

 “I think that he was always an outsider. I think that’s what this story is about, how he sort of lost touch towards the end of his life, to say the least."

  The film will follow Hoover´s journey since his early years and how he build up the FBI making it the power entity that it is today.


Director Clint Eastwood describes him:

“Here’s this guy starting the Bureau of Investigation, which later became the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and then goes on to stay for 48 years through eight presidents. Of course nobody could fire him, because he had something on everybody.”


  Of course, one of the most controversial issues of Hoover´s life, his rumoured homosexual relationship with Associate FBI Director Clyde Tolson (played by Armie Hammer, pictured above), will also be portrayed on the upcoming film.

 Clint Eastwood reflects on this particular issue:

“Some people might interpret it that way. Some people might say [he and Tolson] were just inseparable pals. Or maybe it’s a love story without being gay, I don’t know. But it’s very interesting, the way Lance laid out the script. It was nicely written. It didn’t go to the obvious.”

 Obvious or not, it is pretty easy to see why DiCaprio is probably going to win a string of awards and nominations for this career-defining role next year.

Arnie Hammer Speaks About Kissing Leonardo Dicaprio


 Armie Hammer is a popular face these days for appearing in one of the most awarded films of the year, The Social Network, where he stars as the Winklevoss twins.

 The actor seems to be on full force lately as he is preparing to be directed by Clint Eastwood in a sure to be controversial movie about the life of FBI director,  J. Edgard Hoover.

 Hammer will play Clyde Tolson, an associate, and rumoured gay lover, of Hoover (played by Leonardo Dicaprio).

 The actor spoke recently to E! Online about how explicit their relationship will be on-screen:
 "It's not a kissing scene. It's a ton of kissing scenes. I actually just met [DiCaprio] for the first time Saturday at the DGA Awards. He's a talented actor. I'm not nervous or afraid of it being awkward. The script is great. The scenes are in there for a reason."
 The film, which will probably raise some eyebrows and collect many awards, will be released sometime in 2012.
 Are you looking forward to seeing Di Caprio and Hammer engage in some man-on-man action?

Rumour: Dicaprio, Maguire and Seyfriend to star in "The Great Gatsby"


  According to reports, the new film adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved classic, "The Great Gatsby" is on the works and, if the rumours are true, this could turn up to be a terrific project. Apparently,  Leonardo DiCaprio is up for the role of Jay Gatsby, Tobey Maguire for Nick Carraway, and Amanda Seyfried for Daisy Buchanan. A few years back, director Baz Luhrmann (Moulin Rouge) had acquired the rights to the novel, but there is no word yet if he will be sitting on the director's chair and helming the movie.

  I hope that the rumours are true cause this would be a star-studded cast. After reading the novel, I could definitely see those three actors playing the roles perfectly. Seyfried has the perfect combination of beauty and apparent vulnerability that the character of Daisy needs, while Maguire and Dicaprio would be perfect fits for the roles of envious Nick and pretentious Gatsby. I also look forward to seeing Luhrmann's vision of the story (if he's still attached to the film) as his unique style will surely provide a touch of modernity to it.
