Okay, limber up that scrolling finger, you have a bit of work ahead of you. Collider have struck upon more on-set snaps of J Edgar than you can shake a stick at. Even it was quite a big stick and you shook it for a little while.

We get to see Leo being all moody and sullen, all tender and stuff by Dame Judi Dench’s bedside, all bloated and old and scowly and Armie Hammer (of Winklevi fame from The Social Network) aging similarly. Clint Eastwood looks for his part remarkably well at ease, considering the scope of the film he is undertaking.

It seems to be one of those films with “prestige project” plastered all over it, though that is by no means a criticism. Clint Eastwood is a director of impeccable credentials and there is every reason to believe that he can and will deliver a fascinating and epic story of the life of one of America’s most infamous sons. Since you have a fair few pictures to scroll down through and enjoy, I’ll leave it there.

Dave has been writing for HeyUGuys since mid-2010 and has found them to be the most intelligent, friendly, erudite and insightful bunch of film fans you could hope to work with. He's gone from ham-fisted attempts at writing the news to interviewing Lawrence Bender, Renny Harlin and Julian Glover, to writing articles about things he loves that people have actually read. He has fairly broad tastes as far as films are concerned, though given the choice he's likely to go for Con Air over Battleship Potemkin most days. He's pretty sure that 2001: A Space Odyssey is the most overrated mess in cinematic history.
