Early on in his career, solving the Lindbergh case and capturing outlaws like John Dillinger helped Hoover to fashion the G-Man image in the eyes of the general public.  There were comic books about them, they were on cereal boxes, engaging America’s youth. It was all part of his publicity campaign to turn government into a force that was helping your family and keeping your children safe–Leonardo DiCaprio

“Hoover was a top cop, or a top ‘G-Man,’ as they called them in those days, but I didn’t really know much about him. He kept a high profile—he was seen with movie actors and famous writers at social gatherings and what have you—but he was an enigma in many ways”–Clint Eastwood

Peter Jackson told me, “If you were here right now, you would see over my shoulder the entire series of Hergé’s books, and I would love to be a part of this.  And thus began our process of finding a way to capture that artistic style that so defines Hergé and Tintin, and bring it to the screen”–Spielberg

When director Sean Durkin saw Elizabeth Olsen audition for the first time, he knew he had found exactly the right person to take this challenging journey.

I wanted to do something character-based, contemporary and naturalistic.  I feel like cults are usually portrayed so that they’re over the top caricatures of themselves–Sean Durkin
