Clint Eastwood has done it all. He has appeared in genre-changing pictures like The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. He has managed to be at the forefront of a long line of successful films in the Dirty Harry saga. He is an Academy Award winner for both Best Picture (Million Dollar Baby) and Best Director (Unforgiven). And now, he tips his cap in the director's seat once again in the biopic, J. Edgar.
Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception, Blood Diamond) stars as J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation for nearly 50 years. Hoover was feared, admired, reviled and revered, a man who could distort the truth as easily as he upheld it. His methods were at once ruthless and heroic, with the admiration of the world his most coveted prize. But behind closed doors, he held secrets that would have destroyed his image, his career and his life. The film looks to expose the man for who he was, both good and bad.
Warner Home Video will be the ones in charge of bringing the powerhouse film to home video on both DVD and Blu-ray come March 20, 2012. Eastwood puts the camera on an all-star cast comprised of the likes of Naomi Watts (21 Grams), Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and Oscar Winner Judi Dench (Shakespeare in Love). The DVD will be available for the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) of $24.97, while the Blu-ray will run at the MSRP of $35.99. Bonus materials have yet to be written in stone, but we hope to have them shortly.
