New Batch of Behind-the-Scenes Public Enemies Photos

Although we were just forced to remove those Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen behind-the-scenes photos, we've got some new ones to replace them with. Thanks to Phil Edwards of Live for Films, we've got a few new photos from Michael Mann's Public Enemies. A much larger batch (meaning 400+ photos) of shots from the set in Columbus, Wisconsin were posted on Michelle Martin's site as well. There are a lot of random photos of old signs and other set pieces, but we've pulled some of the better ones that show Johnny Depp in action and a few of the more stylistic shots that represent the time period.
We've also heard that Michael Mann is going back out to Illinois to do reshoots with Johnny Depp, which some of these photos are from. Mann recently did a private test at a movie theater in Los Angeles checking to see what certain scenes looked like on the big screen and now he's going back to do some reshoots. We're not sure how much will be reshot, but this isn't too uncommon for big studio movies. Enjoy the photos!
Public Enemies is directed by Michael Mann, of Heat, Ali, Collateral, and Miami Vice previously. The screenplay is based on Bryan Burrough's book of the same name and was adapted by Ronan Bennett (A Further Gesture). Later, Michael Mann and Ann Biderman (Copycat, Primal Fear) wrote a revised screenplay before shooting. The film has an all star cast made up of Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Channing Tatum, Giovanni Ribisi, David Wenham, Leelee Sobieski, Marion Cotillard, and Billy Crudup as J. Edgar Hoover. Universal is bringing Public Enemies to theaters everywhere on July 1st this summer.

When I mentioned the reshooting three weeks ago I was thrown under the bus for creating rumors LOL I pray for you.

wm i agree that he wasn't good in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but who cares if he wasn't good in one movie among at least very good 20 ones. He is a human being so he is not perfect but he is as close to perfect as an actor and a man could be. His latest performance in Sweeny Todd blows you away. I am sure that this movie is just a piece of cake for him.

CATCF was the movie that made me fall in love with this man's acting. Is there any part that he can't play? What diversity! He plays the character, get it? Not himself. That's what makes his acting exceptional. You may not care for that character-but you can't knock the man for his complete transformation into the part. Most actors don't play it that way.

I'm guessing there were no usable photos of Christian Bale because he was probably in the middle of beating the shit out of the director of photography. Apparently a tradition for him on every set he works on.

#14, you just proved your ignorance and the fact you get all of your news from Yahoo! and places like OMG.

I hope it's in black and white and Johnny, who's my favorite actor, losses his idiosyncrasies and behaves as did the real Dillinger. I know Bale won't have that problem.

Dear Mr. Depp, I am so sorry for saying that you weren't too good in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory. While I see every movie you do, and I think you are one of thee best actors worth supporting, I want to say CATCF was not one of my favorites unlike Fear and Loathing. IN MY OPINION.
