Mar 12, (THAINDIAN NEWS) The process of filming a movie based on one of the biggest and most well known characters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover, who was known as one of the toughest and notorious official the United States has ever seen, has reportedly kicked off. The founder of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, J. Edgar Hoover held the post of the director of the organization till his death, and was singlehandedly responsible for the introduction of all the resources that the organization is known to use till date.

He was also known as the man who gave birth to several control techniques that are used by the Bureau, which include the harassment of terrorists and creating dossiers on national leaders. The film, which is going to be directed by Clint Eastwood, will be produced in collaboration with Imagine Entertainment. The screenplay of the film is written by the Academy Award winner Dustin Lance Black. However, no details about the cast of the biopic has been forthcoming from the Clint Eastwood camp.

That has given rise to a huge amount of speculations, of course. Most of the observers feel that the director might be casting Matt Damon, who had starred in yet another biopic directed by Clint Eastwood, “Invictus.” However, it cannot be denied that finding the right person for starring in the title role of the film might be a little difficult, according to many of the observers in the film industry. So far, the movie is completely shrouded in mystery, with even the name not having been announced.
