We’re used to films and TV shows featuring FBI agents, but Clint Eastwood – with his director’s hat firmly atop his scone - has decided not to bring us another tale about the grunts, instead he’s gone straight to the top.
J Edgar is Eastwood’s look at both the public and private lives of much-publicised FBI head J Edgar Hoover up until his death in 1972. Leonardo Di Caprio stars as the titular agency boss, whilst co-stars include Judi Dench and our very own (we have to say that!) Naomi Watts.
Check out the first trailer here and you’ll likely come away thinking two things. Firstly, that you’ve got to see this, and secondly yep, it’s Oscar season again!
