"J. Edgar" adds Miles Fisher and Jeffrey Donovan to the cast list

Even though "J. Edgar" has started filming, the studio recently just added two more additions to the cast list to play pivotal roles in the movie. "Burn Notice" star Jeffrey Donovan officially joined to play Robert F. Kennedy, the main rival of J. Edgar Hoover, the scandalous FBI chief. Meanwhile, Miles Fisher landed a role as FBI agent named Agent Garrison, who interviews his boss Hoover regarding to his manipulative schemes.

A month ago, I posted some photos from "J. Edgar" filming location with Leonardo DiCaprio as J. Edgar Hoover and "The Social Network"'s breakout star Armie Hammer as Clyde Tolson, Hoover's alleged homosexual partner, along with Judi Dench as Anne Marie Hoover. Donovan reportedly will start filming next week in this Clint Eastwood-directed movie.

Besides DiCaprio, Hammer, Dench, and recently added Donovan and Fisher, the movie also starring Naomi Watts, Josh Lucas, Ed Westwick, and Amanda Schull. It is set to be released in 2012, still with unspecified date.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese team up again in "The Wolf of Wall Street"

The dynamic actor/director duo Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese are reportedly will team up for the fifth time in "The Wolf of Wall Street". This project is set up at Warner Bros., and has been a big talk since 2007. Ridley Scott was initially chosen to direct it, but since "The Departed" won Best Picture at Oscars, Scorsese was in line to replace Scott, as well as his leading man DiCaprio.

Scorsese dropped the project for a while, but he finally back on track. According to Entertainment Weekly, "The Wolf of Wall Street" is based on Jordan Belfort's memoir, Wolf chronicles the author's debauched, hard-partying rampage in the world of high finance during the go-go ’90s. Belfort's law-breaking bender eventually landed him in federal prison.

"After almost four years in development, I can’t begin to tell you how thrilled I am to finally be working with Leo and Marty on this," said Belfort. "They're the ultimate dream team, and it was definitely worth the wait." The Wolf script was adapted by Terry Winter, who recently worked with Scorsese on the HBO series Boardwalk Empire.

From "Gangs of New York", "The Aviator", "The Departed", and then "Shutter Island", I think this movie is going to be epic. Can't get enough of any Scorsese/DiCaprio collaboration!

On set photos of "J. Edgar" with Leo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer

Leonardo DiCaprio and Armie Hammer along with Judi Dench were spotted in the Los Angeles set of Clint Eastwood's "J. Edgar". They look all suited up and were either attending or hosting a high-class party. Take a look below:



"J. Edgar" tells about the story of J. Edgar Hoover, the first director of FBI in 1935. Hoover is credited with building the FBI into a large and efficient crime-fighting agency, and with instituting a number of modern innovations to police technology, such as a centralized fingerprint file and forensic laboratories.

Earlier reports said that Leonardo and Armie are playing a couple, in which Armie described has 'a lot of kissing scenes'. This would be the main reason why I want to watch the movie apart from Clint Eastwood as the director — which always turns out amazing. YEAH! :D
