Billy Crudup in “Public Enemies”

null Billy Crudup is joining the stellar cast of Public Enemies. Our friends over at cinematical.com give us more on the story.

Variety has announced the latest addition to Public Enemies and it is the brilliant Billy Crudup, who will be playing legendary FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover.

This movie really gets me excited in my girl places. It has an insane line of of actors including Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Giovanni Ribisi, Stephen Dorff and now Billy Crudup. Add to that a script that has gotten rave reviews and I just can’t see this film missing.

It’s been too long since there has been a really smart movie made about old school organized crime and I welcome this one with open arms. A true crime story about the feds trying to take down John Dillinger and his posse sounds fantastic. If Hoover takes a large place in this film (an since the film is already weeks into shooting that is a big if) Crudup has his work cut out for him. J. Edgar Hoover was quite the extreme man, he was the head of FBI through eight presidencies, was known to completely abuse his power, and it is said that he fired agents sometimes just because of the way they looked.

This is just the kind of character that could do wonders to an actor’s career. Will Crudup be able to rise to the challenge? I’ll certainly be showing up to see.
