J. Edgar Hoover e il grande Gatsby. Che cos’hanno in comune un direttore dell’Fbi e il protagonista di un romanzo di Francis Scott Fitzgerald? Saranno interpretati entrambi da Leonardo Di Caprio in due film di prossima uscita.
Sono partite in questi giorni le riprese del biopic su Hoover, diretto da Clint Eastwood. Di Caprio veste i panni di Hoover, che guidò l’Fbi dal 1924 al 1972. Il film si propone di indagare a fondo la figura di Hoover, che Eastwood considera uno dei suoi miti di infanzia. Lo script di Dustin Lance Black, sceneggiatore di Milk , Addresses the most controversial aspects related to the life of Hoover: the relationship with his mother and homosexuality. Back in the '40s there was talk of homosexuality Hoover, who had always denied it and then use the same weapon against the candidate for the White House Stevenson. For the part of Hoover's companion, Clyde Tolson, Eastwood chose Armie Hammer. But according to the director "the gay condition was the least of his problems." DiCaprio, directed by Eastwood for the first time, will be called a great test to be able to return to the complexity of a character that he brought with him a great many secrets and hidden power.
Soon after, Di Caprio will be a playboy millionaire in the new adaptation of The Great Gatsby . Will be directed by Baz Luhrmann, the author of Moulin Rouge and Australia and the shooting will be in Sydney. In short, the good Leo cut the umbilical cord that bound him to his teacher Martin Scorsese and becoming the first choice of the great directors. For what role? All.
