Not in Hoover

Here is some excellent news and a few unhealthy information for those of you excited for Clint Eastwood's newest flick, "J. Edgar." Unhealthy news first: Charlize Theron is actually not involved within the movie, despite earlier reports that said otherwise.

In accordance with New York Journal, Theron's reps at William Morris Endeavor jumped the gun a bit after they started saying she was on board for "J. Edgar," when she actually had no intention of accepting the role of J. Edgar Hoover's private secretary Helen Gandy. It obtained to the purpose where she had to personally apologize to Eastwood for the misreporting, however all is well between them now. In keeping with Deadline, Eastwood is now taking a look at both Amy Adams or Naomi Watts to replace her.

On to the good news: "Gossip Lady" star Ed Westwick has officially come on board for the mission as clear-lower FBI operative Agent Smith.
Smith is seemingly a great writer, and FBI director Hoover commissions him to ghost-write his autobiography, however apparently Smith will get slightly too near the truth. We don't know too much in regards to the fashion in which "J. Edgar" is being told, however this sounds too close to the narrative system screenwriter Dustin Lance Black utilized in "Milk" for us to suppose Smith is just a throwaway character. It could be that the whole story is instructed by flashbacks as Smith writes Hoover's autobiography.

Additionally, some fast Theron good news as properly to offset the actual fact she's not in "J. Edgar." New York Mag has realized that Fox is hoping to cast the South African actress in Ridley Scott's "Alien" prequel by rejiggering the script to create a large function for her. Other actors reported to have signed on are Noomi Rapace, Michelle Yeoh and Michael Fassbender. She should be getting the brand new version of the script sometime this week, and we ought to be listening to either a yea or nay soon
