He is already attached to star in the upcoming foot-fetish drama Big Shoe and he might be offered a role opposite Jennifer Garner in The Odd Life of Timothy Green as well.
We learned that Clint Eastwood is interested in having Phoenix to star in his upcoming biopic, Hoover.
That will make him very busy guy, and… Leonardo DiCaprio‘s lover on a big screen?!
So, what do we know about Hoover?
Milk writer, Dustin Lance Black scripted biopic of the cross-dressing former head of the F.B.I., J.Edgar Hoover, and the project has had Leonardo DiCaprio attached to lead all summer.
Now, Eastwood's first choice to play Hoover's probable lover Clyde Tolson is Phoenix. Interesting….
The movie should film before the end of the year at Warner Bros, and it will follow: “Tolson's unqualified, and is thought to be a homosexual, but Hoover offers him a job anyway. There's an instant attraction between the two men, and Toulson becomes Hoover's right hand man throughout much of his career.
Due to Hoover's deeply closeted nature, however, the relationship is never consummated; when Toulson makes a move on his boss, the two even come to blows. It's clearly the most important relationship in the script, and the emotional hinge of the piece. Hoover's sexuality is the driving force of the film, and you couldn't miss it, but its treatment is quite subtle.”
Definitely interesting decision, well done Eastwood!Joaquin Phoenix to Join Leonardo DiCaprio for Clint Eastwood’s Hoover Biopic?
