First photo of Naomi Watts in Clint Eastwood's J. EDGAR

Here is the first official image of Naomi Watts in Clint Eastwood's J. Edgar. Watts plays Helen Gandy, J. Edgar Hoover's secretary for 45 years in the drama written by Dustin Lance Black. The film also stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Armie Hammer, Ed Westwick, Josh Lucas, Judy Dench and Naomi Watts. 

 Here is a description of the film as we posted earlier:

As America's top cop for five decades, J. Edgar Hoover oversaw the creation of the FBI, helped popularize fingerprints and other forensic evidence, and wielded nearly unchecked authority to manipulate evidence and investigate supposed enemies of the state such as Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. Now director Clint Eastwood is turning the tables, prying into Hoover's life in a big-screen biopic that would doubtless make the notorious G-man squirm.

The movie traces Hoover's life from his childhood in Washington, D.C., through his ascent to power in the 1920s, his 50-year reign over the FBI, and his death in 1972 — with Leonardo DiCaprio donning prosthetic makeup to portray the man well into his bulldog-like elderly years. ''To me, it's really a story of how absolute power corrupts absolutely,'' says the star. ''He was always an outsider.''

J. Edgar is scheduled for a limited release on Wednesday, November 9th, expanding to theaters everywhere two days later (Friday, the 11th).  What are your thoughts on this film?
