Public Enemies -> click for IMDB
 
| Quote: | Public Enemies is a 2009 film adaptation of Bryan Burrough's book Public Enemies: America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933–34 directed by Michael Mann. The crime drama is set during The Great Depression with the focus on the FBI agent Melvin Purvis' attempt to stop criminals John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Pretty Boy Floyd. Christian Bale will play FBI agent Purvis, Johnny Depp will play Dillinger, and Marion Cotillard will play Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette.
Principal photography began in Columbus, Wisconsin on March 17, 2008 and wrapped in Chicago, Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin and several other places in Wisconsin the end of June 2008, including the famous Little Bohemia Lodge in Manitowish Waters, Wisconsin, the actual location of a 1934 gun fight between Dillinger and the FBI.
Some parts of the film were shot in Crown Point, Indiana, the town where Dillinger was imprisoned and subsequently escaped from jail. |
Johnny Depp
Christian Bale
Giovanni Ribisi
Stephen Dorff
Those two pics is everything there is yet. But I guess the trailer will be released soon.

I want the character to be complete. Which means that if he was a balding shorty with bad teeth that's how the actor should look onscreen, and his character should behave accordingly (have or not have some pyschological trouble about his appearance, go extra violent or smthg like that).
It's pretty obvious that Depp and Bale get picked up for their roles only due to popularity and pretty boy-ness. This is actually the decline of cinema. Next step is Orlando Bloom playing Rossevelt or Pitt playing Hitler.

Eh, what if the character didn't have any trouble with his appearance? It's not too far off. The guy is dark haired. No horn in the forehead or 3rd eye.

Vodka has a point and these actors are being chosen just because they look pretty in period clothing. But that should be no surprise to anyone because hollywood is not the place to be looking for any depth or authenticity.

 Spoiler: | In Soviet Russia, Boris Jeltsin played Johnny Depp.  Couldn't resist. |

I honestly can't see the problem. Some of the top acting talent is in this flick. Why settle for less because his chin is more pronounced than how the twat actually looked like?

Honestly I can't see any acting talent in Bale. I mean, he's awesome as Patrick Bateman and Bruce Wayne but even in The Illusionist - is there really any ACTING involved? He always has this stone-cold face, in every movie. No emotions, no facial expressions. We love him for this coldness, womenz love him as a sexy boy but frankly speaking - he's not an amazing _actor_.

He was in The Prestige, not The Illusionist, and he was great in it. I have yet to see him in a movie where he disappoints as an actor. |

I agree, Im not a Bale fan either. Didnt care for American Psycho to much, the batman movies ive gotten used to and arent bad, but other than that, dont like him/his acting.
Still, im gunna see the new terminator and him as John Connor. If he's good in that, then i may change my opinion. But i have a feeling he's gunna suck as leader of the human race.... |

Well, he ain't gonna suck but his performance won't be much different from the one in Reign of Fire, I guess. SSDD.

Christian Bale is a great actor, one of my favourite actors nowadays.
Specially after watching American Psycho. What a great movie.
It´ll be interesting to see him and Depp in the same movie.
Will keep an eye on this one...

I think he's a good actor as well and he was brilliant in American Psycho, Equilibrium and The Machinist so nuff said about that. And he will be brilliant in T4 and this movie here but that's because he's good at portraying those kinds of angry/disturbed characters. But just like 'action-heroes' such as Arnold and Stallone couldn't do comedy, Bale has his limitations as well. Nuff said about that too.

Anyway acting = spectre of emotions and different characters. Not the same shit over and over again. Even Michael Caine provided more acting than Bale in Prestige.
