J. Edgar Trailer: Leonardo DiCaprio Ages, Recreates American History For an Oscar Nomination
"We must never forget our history," Leonardo DiCaprio warns in the brand new trailer for J. Edgar. Conveniently, this narrative demand means that you should probably see the very biographical drama from director Clint Eastwood that this trailer advertises. Take a look at DiCaprio as FBI director J. Edgar Hoover below in the film's first trailer.
To see the trailer in high definition, head on over to Apple. Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar will follow the career of J. Edgar Hoover from the Palmer Raids onwards. The Warner Bros. picture also stars Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts and Judi Dench and is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on November 9.

Oh, lordy, that's some rampant Oscar bait right there! How did Oliver Stone not make this movie (preferably right after Nixon with Bob Hoskins reprising the role)?
I wish Oliver Stone had made this movie, well, back in the 90's that is. At least there would have been some truth telling. I love DiCaprio but he seems really miscast here.
That old man make-up is frightening. Ugh.
What's my destiny, Momma?
You're gonna have to figure that out for yourself, Forrest, eh, J. Edgar.
The number of biopics that are genuinely successful - as historical accounts or as cinematic narratives - is, I'd suggest, incredibly small. How many can you think of that aren't hamstrung by the time constraints or by gross oversimplification? I'm struggling to think of one.
Mostly looking forward to Armie Hammer.
looks kinda stupid and too sentimental. don't know why Eastwood is so respected as a filmmaker, he only makes one decent movie in a decade and most of his stuff is mediocre or worse.
This is Leo's year! The old man make-up is the tell-tale sign!
It's Hammer Time.
You are not alone.
