LEONARDO DICAPRIO, the 36-year-old American actor, is set to star alongside ARMIE HAMMER and Naomi Watts in the upcoming movie 'J.

The film, currently midway through filming, chronicles the life and times of the Federal Bureau of Investigations first director, who held office from 1935 till his death from a heart attack in 1972.
