Warner Bros. Pictures have announced that Imagine Entertainment’s J. Edgar will hit US cinemas on November 9.

Directed by Clint Eastwood (Changeling), J. Edgar stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Naomi Watts, Damon Herriman, Judi Dench, Ed Westwick, Josh Lucas, Ken Howard, Lea Thompson and Stephen Root.

Synopsis: Biopic on FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, focusing on his scandalous career and controversial private life as a homosexual and rumoured cross dresser.

Unless revealed as a late entry, J. Edgar is likely to miss out on the highly esteemed festival season, but with such a strong director, screenwriter and cast, it’s sure to gain momentum off its own back.
