Picture the scene: A Wisconsin road in the early 1930s. Johnny Depp, portraying legendary American bank robber John Dillinger, and his gang are on the lam, trying to escape the FBI.
Local classic car owners could help to create this scene by allowing Universal Productions to use their cars in the period movie "Public Enemies," starring Depp as Dillinger and directed by Michael Mann. The movie has long been rumored to be considering multiple Wisconsin locations for shooting, and now its production company is asking local vintage car owners to show off their vehicles for possible use in the movie.
Howard Bachrach, the picture car captain for Universal Pictures, will be in Milwaukee on Sunday at Miller Park to scout potential cars, trucks and buses to be used as background vehicles.
"They (car collectors) are a bunch of great people and because they’re passionate about what they’re doing, they’re willing to help us out," Bachrach said.
He said that he has contacted local car clubs in the area inviting them to bring their vehicles made from 1930 to 1935 to the stadium for consideration.
