First Look: Johnny Depp & Christian Bale In Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies”

Posted by: Matt

Here’s our first look at Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis in Michael Mann’s crime film “Public Enemies.” Mann is fantastic with his crime action films (”Heat”, “Miami Vice”) so I’m psyched for “Enemies”. Check out the photos of Depp and Bale in costume below.

Described as a sort of Heat II, the film tells the story of charismatic criminal gang leader John Dillinger (Depp) and determined lawman Melvin Purvis (Bale), the FBI agent tracking him down. Also in the cast is Marion Cotillard as Dillinger’s girlfriend, Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham, Leelee Sobieski and Emilie de Ravin, with Billy Crudup as the legendary J. Edgar Hoover.
