We’ve been heard rumblings about a possible company move for J. Edgar from Los Angeles to Virginia in March before the film wraps, and now it looks like we might have confirmation (sort of).
Thought nothing’s official, today the Fauquier Times-Democrat in Warrenton, VA posted the following on their Facebook page:
In early April, Leonardo DiCaprio and director Clint Eastwood will do a week long shoot at a home near The Plains for a biopic on J. Edgar Hoover. DiCaprio plays Hoover. The home, just south of town, will be used for scenes of the Lindbergh baby abduction. Eastwood comes to Warrenton in late March to film general district court for a scene on the verdict for the baby’s killer.
The Plains is a small town located about 20 miles north of Warrenton, which is about an hour west of Washington D.C.
Stay tuned, hopefully we’ll get more information before the shoot starts! This just might be worth an On Location Vacation to Virginia!

I went to the Library of Congress this evening, approx. 6 – 7:00 PM and didn’t see any trailers for a film crew. I completely walked around the whole building and the Capital and saw no sign of any filming going on. Where on Saturday may we see filming and about what time?
Sorry you couldn’t find it, DCist confirmed filming this weekend, but onyl said that they were filming “downtonw” Sat and Sun, no exact cross streets or anything:
