The Hollywood Newsroom has scored a bunch of pictures of Johnny Depp as John Dillinger on the set of
Public Enemies, which has just begun filming in Columbus, Wisconsin. They're quite small and not particularly revealing, but the girls love Depp. And I just know that somewhere, a group of Depp cosplayers (yes, they exist) are studiously trying to replicate his fedora or coat cuffs just from this shot. Can you believe how young he still looks? It's eerie.
The shots of the location are very cool too. What I wouldn't give to be an extra in a gangster film. I love the clothes of the 1920's. I wish
Marion Cotillard was in one of these, because I am dying to see her clothes. Michael Mann is set direct a cast that also includes Christian Bale, David Wenham, Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi and Stephen Dorff, among others.
1. pretty astounding cast. Can't wait to hear more about this. And kudos to Bale for signing on to (hopefully) good films where he may be out of the spotlight, particularly with other a-list actors who are known for chewing the scenery (first Crowe, now Depp).
