awesome!!!
That’s great! Finally he’ll be able to smolder on the big screen in something worthy of his talents!
Cool! I’m curious to see how he’ll be on the big screen.
I was looking forward to seeing this movie- not anymore. Ed westdick is a terrible actor.
He’s the only major cast member to not hit the big screen since the show blew up. Well worth the wait, and I’m happy he’s attached to such a prestige project.
I’m thrilled by this. He and Leighton Meester actually have talent, and they are wasted by that show. I’m very excited he’ll finally get a chance to transition into movies, and what a great group of people to work with!
Isn’t Scorsese directing “J. Edgar”, not Clint Eastwood??
Nah, fancypants, dicaprio is actually working with another director.
Anyhoo, this movie is going to be amazing on just about every level. I’m so pumped. I honestly don’t see where this can go wrong. Unless, of course, for some insane reason, black totally omits the part where Hoover was a cross-dressing homosexual.
THIS IS GOING TO E SO GOOD!
