While there is a lot of conjecture about filming dates and locations for “Public Enemies,” we can report this as fact.

Movie Location

I live in the building on Clark and Newport where the filming of Public Enemies is taking place. The second story apartment is the home of Depp’s movie girlfriend. FBI agents (Christian) will stake-out in the shanty town under the el tracks and spy on the building. They also shot all of the actor’s mugshots there as well. Good group of people, especially the girls cooperating with the use of their apartments during the shoot. I haven’t seen Johnny yet, but he has been hanging out at our place. Perhaps after the Cubs game I will invite him to a few Wrigleyville establishments.

The past few nights they’ve been at Clark and Newport. Does anyone know where they’re going to be tonight? I’ve heard a few different things from the crew and don’t know what to believe.

filming tonight

So, I know for a FACT that they will be filming on Clark and Newport again tonight. I don’t know when or for how long, but I’m assuming they’ll start anywhere from 8-10 PM tonight. I know this because my friend lives on Newport and got a notice under her door today saying that they will be filming one more night. As to what actors will be there, I don’t know. It’s worth checking out, though! Just stand around where the crew guys are and chat it up with them to get info out of them. That’s what I did last night and this props guy kept updating me on when Johnny was going to get there and what he’d be doing in the scene.

THEATER, TV, DVD & BLU-RAY REVIEWS

  • Near Dark

    CHICAGO – It’s funny the way that the Blu-Ray market has developed in that success of a new title can often bring an old one to the HD format more quickly than it otherwise would get there. In the case of the great “Near Dark,” it’s the success of two films, one that shares a theme (“The Twilight Saga: New Moon”) and one that shares director Kathryn Bigelow (“The Hurt Locker”). Whatever the reason, don’t fail to include arguably the best vampire movie ever made in your collection.

  • Lost

    CHICAGO – The sixth and final season of the J.J. Abrams hit television series “Lost” will premiere with a special all-night event on Tuesday, February 2nd, 2009. The recap special will start at 7pm CST followed by the highly anticipated sixth season two-hour premiere at 8pm CST on ABC.
