This new Michael Mann film has a star studded cast that includes Johnny, Marion, Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, Leelee Sobieski, Billy Crudup, Giovanni Ribisi, and Stephen Dorff. This film is based on Bryan Burrough’s book Public Enemies: America’s Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI.
Plot:
The crime drama is set during The Great Depression with the focus on the FBI agent Melvin Purvis’ attempt to stop criminals John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd. Christian Bale will play FBI agent Purvis, Johnny Depp will play Dillinger, and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard will play Dillinger’s girlfriend Billie Frechette. Principal photography began in Columbus, Wisconsin on March 17, 2008[1] and will continue in Chicago, Illinois and several places in Wisconsin until the end of June.[2] Some parts of the film will be shot in Crown Point, Indiana, the town where Dillinger escaped from jail.
