Universal has debuted three new character banners for Michael Mann's Public Enemies - one for Johnny Depp, Marion Cotillard, and Christian Bale. We haven't seen much new from this since we debuted the first poster and the official trailer back in March. It's great to see some new artwork from this, but they're not too amazing, just new manipulations of the same photos we've seen plenty of times previously. I'm looking forward to Public Enemies, certainly, but it's not anything I'm overly excited about. It'll be good, but I doubt it'll end up being one of my favorite movies of the summer, and I'm not sure why. What do you think?
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 will be bringing Public Enemies to theaters everywhere on July 1st this summer.

Looking forward to this movie for sure, but I think the posters are a little off...I mean, I know it stars Depp, but when the Bale and Cotillard posters have Depp's name under them, it seems wierd imo.

the trailer reveals Tatum's 5 second appearance.. hence my fading excitement.

Cannot wait!!!! I am reading the book right now and it is so thrilling as well as well written. I need to pick up the pace so I finish the book before the films release. These posters are nothing new.

I agree with #8. These make it look like everyone in this movie is named Johnny Depp.

The posters are nice,but they are not new. I have them saved from a JD site,from a few months back. I think it will be a good movie,even though Bale is so very boring to watch.Lets hope he does not lisp and rasp all the way through this movie too!

Mann makes a very engaging movie and it's cinematic look is Mann's signature.
