Four new TV spots for Clint Eastwood‘s biopic of J Edgar Hoover starring Leonardo DiCaprio, have arrived online.
Written by Dustin Lance Black – who won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for 2008′s Milk, J. Edgar promises to be an interesting, even if somewhat bland, look into the life of one of of the more controversial figures of the 20th Century. As the face of law enforcement in America for almost fifty years, J. Edgar Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.

Directed by Clint Eastwoon on a script by Dustin Lance Black (of the critically acclaimed “Milk,” yet another very solid biopic), “J.

As the face of law enforcement in America for almost fifty years, J. Edgar Hoover (Leonardo DiCaprio) was feared and admired, reviled and revered. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life.
First J. EDGAR Trailer Starring Leonardo DiCaprio
Nothing new in here, simply because we’ve been talking about this movie since…I don’t know since when, but we’ve been talking a lot about the whole thing.
So, thank God we finally have the first trailer for Clint Eastwood‘s upcoming biopic titled J. Edgar. I usually have nothing against the projects which are based on the true stories, but I’m not fascinated by this trailer. Maybe it’s a little too dark for me, I don’t know…
On the other hand, I like Leonardo DiCaprio‘s new look, and as usual, we all expect to see a strong performance from him, especially when we have a role like this – controversial man like J. Edgar Hoover.

New The Lincoln Lawyer Clip and Poster
Lionsgate just released a new clip and poster for The Lincoln Lawyer.
In the gripping thriller The Lincoln Lawyer, Matthew McConaughey stars as Michael “Mick” Haller, a slick, charismatic Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Having spent most of his career defending petty, gutter-variety criminals, Mick unexpectedly lands the case of a lifetime: defending a rich Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who is accused of attempted murder. However, what initially appears to be a straightforward case with a big money pay-off swiftly develops into a deadly match between two masters of manipulation and a crisis of conscience for Haller.
