Images of John Dillinger (played by Johnny Depp) on the set of PUBLIC ENEMIES

By Matt Holmes / June 25, 2011

There's a couple of new images from the set of Michael Mann's next movie Public Enemies where Johnny Depp plays notorious and often romanticised 1930's criminal John Dillinger. The movie which is not completely unlike Ridley Scott's American Gangster, will see Dillinger and his gang attempt to evade the FBI - lead by Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale) and the director chief J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudrup).

Recent Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard plays Dillinger€™s girlfriend (who for those in the know has a big part to play in this tale) - whilst Giovanni Ribisi, Channing Tatum, David Wenham, Stephen Dorff, John Ortiz, Stephen Graham and Jason Clarke make up the rest of Dillinger's gang.

Box Office returns and not Academy Awards is what the studio are after here.
