For people who are movie buffs, you might recognize the name of the screenwriter "Dustin Lance Black", as the same person who won the Oscar for the "Milk" screenplay a couple years ago. Given that movie's agenda, coupled with the fact that Black is an outspoken homosexual, I can only imagine how he treated the rumors of Hoover's predilections for women's clothes, which may be the reason for the switch to Clint Eastwood, who can still be a pretty liberal screenwriter himself, despite being a self-described Republican.
Played by di caprio - well that keeps the “fag” meme going that the KGB-inspired left has been pushing.
Whoopie Goldberg or Jackie Chan would make almost as much sense for this role.
Or is this "J. Edgar Hoover - The High School Freshman Years"?
Thats a good Choice Clint Eastwood is a cross dresser himself so this should be great
This is a GAG, right? And what would be next? Maybe Pauley Shore playing Rick in a Casablanca remake??!! Barney Frank instead of Errol Flynn as Robin Hood? Woody Allen as the next Patton?
While the left loves portraying gay folk as the best thing since sliced bread, they will no doubt portray J Edgar Hoover as a “Scum of the earth, repressed, closeted, self-hating homosexual, etc etc...”.
Funny how they claim they are gay friendly unless they want to demonize someone then they use the “ghey is bad” argument. And the Gay community just looks the other way...
Leo doesn’t exactly slum it with directors.
I may be in the minority, but I’m willing to give DeCaprio a chance.
I thought he was very good as Howard Hughes in “The Aviator”. There are many actors with much less talent (Tom Cruise, anyone).
Does anybody know for sure if the cross dressing rumors about Hoover are true?
There was once an episode of the X-Files titled “Travelers” that provided a flashback to Mulder’s father’s role in the early cold war era. The actors they had portraying J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn were virtually dead-ringers for the actual people.
Typical Hollywood type casting.
bttt
I’m sure the film will have a sodomy scene depicting Hoover with a pleasure boy.
Does every movie have to star DiCaprio? 300 million people in this country, and Hollywood can’t find anyone else to play leading roles?

Leo is allegedly gay and has an extreme left wing ideology.
Dustin Black is gay ex-Mormon with compromising pix of himself all over the internet. X-rated gay pix.
Eastwood injected pc-ness into Iwo Jima, and other things. He’s definitely not a righty and hasn’t been in ages. He’s a moderate Dem if anything, at times extremely liberal.
And Leo can’t act.
I don’t expect this to be good, I expect it to be HORRIBLE.
