A fluffy black dress with flounces and lace.....

This is pretty exciting. Clint Eastwood is directing Leonardo DiCaprio in 'Edgar', a biopic about the famous and controversial founder of the FBI J Edgar Hoover. What an interesting person to depict. Hoover was instrumental in creating the federal bureau of Investigation and was also privately gay and a cross dresser. Leo always seems to be Scorsese's go to guy of late so it's nice to see him work with the likes of Christopher Nolan in Inception and now Clint Eastwood. I like Leo more and more these days. I think he went through a bit of an awkward phase where he was neither that gawky teen or the man he is now. I loved him in Inception and I also thought his performance in Shutter Island was brilliant. Clint Eastwood's subtle direction will work well with Leo. I really can't wait to see this.
