Charlize Theron, Armie Hammer May Join J Edgar

Clint Eastwood's J Edgar Hoover film could be signing up two more actors, so says Vulture. Charlize Theron has been offered the role of Hoover's personal secretary, Helen Gandy, and The Social Network's Armie Hammer (he played the Winklevoss twins) is circling the role of Hoover's protege Clyde Tolson (and lover?) in the biopic reports Entertainment Weekly. Leonardo DiCaprio is already on board to play FBI boss J Edgar Hoover.

Warner Bros is aiming for an early 2011 start of production.
