The trailer for J. EDGAR has hit the web, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio playing head of the FBI and controversial figure J. Edgar Hoover. Clint Eastwood directs, and the film co-stars Armie Hammer (THE SOCIAL NETWORK), Naomi Watts, Josh Lucas, Lea Thompson, Dermot Mulroney, Jeffrey Donovan, Stephen Root and Dame Judi Dench. Looks pretty epic, and definitely an easy contender for Oscar nominations. The question is will audiences see it as just that, or get lost in the reality of its story.
