Leonardo DiCaprio Might Play J. Edgar Hoover

According to sources, Clint Eastwood is in “early talks” with Leonardo DiCaprio to play J. Edgar Hoover in Eastwood’s biopic for Warner Bros.

The movie, which will reportedly follow Hoover’s life from the founding of the FBI in the 1930s up to his death in 1972, is scheduled to begin production later this year. Eastwood is producing along with Brian Grazer (Changeling), with Dustin Lance Black (Milk) writing the script.
