Delicious!
DICAPRIO AND HAMMER AS LOVERS IN A FILM DIRECTED BY EASTWOOD ABOUT HOOVER?!!
THERE ARE GONNA BE A LOT OF REPUBLICANS RUNNING AROUND WITH THEIR HAIR ON FIRE!!!!
Armie stole every scene he was in in SOCIAL NETWORK! So thrilled that he will be involved in this. HOOVER’s an awesome script.
He looks kind of like Tolson. Makes sense.
He deserves an Oscar nomination for his work in “Social Network.”
HE WILL BECOME A HUGE MOVIE STAR!!! I had a gut feeling after I saw The Social Network.. They are prepping and positioning him to be quite spectacular AND he is 27, not 17..
Finally Hollywood is going back to the golden days of picking CLASSIC looking faces vs overly modern looks ( Angelina)
yay!!
Capote called Hoover a ‘killer fruit’
He was sublime in The Social Network and really does deserve an Oscar nomination. What a scene stealer! Its nice to see him getting another high quality role so soon.
He or Jared Padalecki from Supernatural should play Superman.
Armie as Leo’s lover directed by Clint from a script by Lance?
Can’t wait!
“Hairdresser on fire…busy scissors!”
He was thoroughly convincing in TSN. Definately a scene stealer. I’m hoping Andrew Garfield gets some recognition from The Academy personally.
I really want Hammer to nail this (its going to be tough)
I hate to disappoint all you Hollywood types— but there is absolutely NO historical evidence that Hoover was a homosexual or that Tolson was his “secret lover” as wrongly asserted in the article.
I realize that facts matter little these days in our lewder, cruder, ruder dumbed down country but there are still those of us around who insist upon journalistic accuracy. Stupid me.
This is superb news, but….
DOES THIS MEAN ARMIE WON’T BE SUPERMAN???!!
If it does, there’s absolutely no hope for that film anymore (unless they go to the back-up casting of Jon Hamm — who will need a good amount of time to get in shape).
Let’s hurry it up, Snyder! Duncan Jones would have had this mule plowing already.
we deserve more man-candy
yes, please!
was looking forward to this movie, but Eastwood is going to go full PC and make it a gonzo gay fantasy to please his Hollywood friends…screw history
You can’t make a Hoover biopic without any mention of his crossdressing or his sexuality, even if it is only light or subtle overtones. It’s not PC, it’s a part of Hoover’s history and to deny it is to pretend otherwise.
