Eastwood eyes J. Edgar Hoover project
Posted on 03/14/2010
The Hollywood Reporter -- Clint Eastwood is lining up his next directing project, a look at the life of controversial FBI director J. Edgar Hoover. Eastwood is teaming with Brian Grazer and Ron Howard's Imagine Entertainment on the picture. Dustin Lance Black, who wrote "Milk," penned the script. Hoover was instrumental in founding the FBI in 1935 and turned it into an efficient crimefighting organization. He remained its director until his death in 1972, but his sculpted persona was already coming apart at the seams; he employed the FBI to harass political activists and used illegal methods to make secret files on leaders. Many biographies also assert the man was a closeted homosexual and cross-dresser. Eastwood is now finishing his drama "Hereafter."
