It was not to long ago that we reported that Clint Eastwood was circling biopic of FBI founder J.Edgar Hoover, now it appears that he has his eye on a particular collaborator: Leonardo DiCaprio.
DiCaprio has had a career that has seen him work with some for he best that the industry has to offer, with a long term collaboration with Martin Scorsese [Aviator, Gang’s of New York, The Departed, Shutter Island], Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. It only seems natural that he should set his sights on working with evergreen director Eastwood, who can do very little wrong these days.
The film as we have mentioned before, will revolve around the launching of the FBI and the controversial figure of Hoover himself. While the agency launched an attack on crime in America, it simultaneously developed dark undertones with the agency using its power to obtain information to use against political and personal obstacles.
Nothing has been confirmed as of yet, but Leo speaking with Entertainment Weekly puts a positive spin on things. “There’s no contract, no anything, but I’m a huge fan of Clint’s.’Eastwood is no stranger to grabbing the best in the moment stars for his pictures, and In Dicaprio he would boast an actor who is on a seasoned run of successful and critically like films. Personally, we think that the combination could continue to produce good results.
