J. Edgar Hoover was appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation in 1924 and was named head of the FBI when it was founded 11 years later. He remained director until his death in 1972 and came under attack late in his tenure for using the FBI to harass political activists and keeping secret files on leaders.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island was pushed back two weeks to Feb. 10 from Jan. 27 and Alfonso Cuarón's outer-space adventure Gravity 3D, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, will open Nov. 21, 2012.

@DuaneBarry Yea im not sure what Leo has to do to finally win one. He has proven he is a very good actor and this movie has lots of promise. I use to loathe Leo but he has matured as an actor and his movies always are entertaining

Hmm.. Eastwood always releases his films too early to get the right amount of Oscar buzz to win anything. Too bad. Looking forward to this though!

Leo should finally get his Oscar with Clint directing.

Glad to see Dench, Root, and Lucas are in this but surely Eastwood could find a better option to play Hoover than Leo. Not sure we even need a film on Hoover anyway, especially after some of his actions over the years. Hope to see Donovan involved as well though.

Why are there so many film stories on the same article? It's like a WB spreadsheet.
