TRIO DAY: J. Edgar movie billboards...
The man with the permanent frown is back.
He worked his furrowed brow in Shutter Island and Inception, now Leonardo DiCaprio tries desperately to cement his place in acting history by playing 'J. Edgar Hoover' in the latest movie directed by Clint Eastwood.
Regardless of what you think of the actor though, these billboards for the biographic film about the first Director of the F.B.I. really stand out with their patriotic American colours.
The atmospheric standard size billboard for this movie was snapped along Sunset Boulevard at Holloway Drive on October 8.
The squarer version evoking the Stars and Stripes flag appeared later and was snapped along Beverly Boulevard on October 18, whilst the smaller billboard was captured along Sunset Boulevard on October 27, 2011. Daily Billboard thinks it's an interesting touch that the stripes are reworked to be horizontal or vertical depending on the format.
