Last week I had the opportunity to see some footage from Clint Eastwood’s upcoming J. Edgar Hoover biopic but becasue I wasn’t allowed to say anything I had to wait until a trailer came out. Luckily I didn’t have to wait too long. Yesterday, the first trailer for J. Edgar hit the net via Apple and it is perfectly in-line with the directorial style of Eastwood. The trailer is slow moving, character driven, and, I thought, very captivating despite giving little in the way of concrete plot details. It also manages to do a great job recreating the period in which it is set, which is one of the most important aspects of the film.
J. Edgar stars Leonardo DiCaprio in the titular role with Naomi Watts, Judi Dench, Armie Hammer, Josh Lucas and Ken Howard in supporting roles. Warner Bros has it slated for a November 9th release.
Watch the trailer below and feel free to leave your thoughts about it in the comments section below.
