They give the script an A+ rating:
This is Heat meets The Untouchables, with the potential for gorgeous settings, well-paced drama, and smoldering action sequences reminiscent of one of best period pieces of all time (at least in my mind), LA Confidential.
Public Enemies is about John Dillinger, but it’s not a bio pic by any means. We pick up in 1933, after Dillinger is already a notorious gangster, and follow him into the last few years of his life as he runs from the law and tries to fit into a world of crime that is quickly rendering his ways obsolete. Johnny Depp is perfect for Dillinger – a seriously spot-on, perfect piece of casting. Christian Bale will shine as Purvis, the unrelenting and Dick Tracy-esque federal agent hunting Dillinger. I’m excited to see who else will join the cast – no doubt a few more heavy-hitters because there are some meaty supporting roles here.
Exciting
This should be exciting watching this website’s coverage on this film. Expecially since it’s being filmed in the Chicagoland area. I wonder if they’ll do any filming at the original Biograph theater were he was shot.
We'll be on it.
Just like with “The Dark Knight,” “Chicago Overcoat,” “Root of All Evil,” etc. over the past year. Stay tuned.
Casting
Have you heard when casting for extras will begin?
Excellent!
We’ll be closely watching this one.
