Casting Call: Johnny Depp Goes ‘Public’

Johnny Depp has signed on to star in the drama “Public Enemies,” Variety reports.

Directed by Michael Mann, the film is set during the great crime wave of 1933-1934, when J.Edgar Hoover was hot on the tail of criminal legends like John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd.

Depp will play Dillinger, one of the most notorious gangsters of the Depression era.

Shooting will begin March 10 in Chicago.

According to Variety, Depp and Mann agreed to the project just hours before his Hollywood premier of “Sweeney Todd” on Wednesday night.
