Johnny Depp in the Dells with "Public Enemies"?

I've been told that JohnnyDepp and the "Public Enemies" cast and crew arrived in the Dells yesterday, it's near Mirror Lake.  Seems some extra filming is happening and I understand that Christian Bale will be there as well. Seems a car trailer was spotted pulling 1930's cars up the highway there. More news as we get it.

Chicago Public Enemies filming in May

Here's some Chicago "Public Enemies" filming information, it's being reported that Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and the rest of the "Public Enemies" crew and cast are scheduled to be filming the exterior scenes at the Biograph Theater and that they will use the Portage Theater for some interior shots. Filming resumes in Chicago "mid" May...and is supposed to run for 6 weeks.

Some questions about the Public Enemies filming

OK, we've all been wondering if there was or wasn't filming going on earlier this week in Little Bohemia. Tackling this situation as if it were a puzzle, I think we've had all the pieces of the puzzle, but weren't putting them together right. Just work with me on this, as I submit this for your consideration.

We know that they had a fire last Wed, but they said that they didn't lose any time.

They did lose a day to the snow last week and they issued a press notice about a weather related 1 day extention.

On Friday they said that they needed a 1 day extension to do some further filming because Depp, Bale and Mann wanted some more work done.
This is what was getting us confused.

OK then maybe they took a couple of days off over the weekend. It was reported that they had left Manitowish. BUT they didn't say that they wouldn't be back. lol

BUT they werern't done filming yet. The only way this makes sense is that the church needed its parking lot for Saturday and Sunday services. The trucks were supposed to be out of there in time for weekend servies. Catholic churches have Mass on Saturday evenings and Sunday. OK..so base camp had to be gone. So they cleared out. Everyone thought that they had finished filming.

But they hadn't finished. They had 2, 1-day extentions. One to make up for snow and one for Mann to do more filming or reshoots.

Friday, April 25 this said that they would extend 1 day to allow for more filming some scenes
http://www.rhinelanderdailynews.com/articles/2008/04/25/news/doc4811f5aa49b20783081514.txt

Then yesterday this restates what we heard last week about how they had to extend 1 day for weather related issues
http://www.rhinelanderdailynews.com/articles/2008/04/29/news/doc481747b30d7ca634856920.txt
That's a 2 day extension...that puts them filming through yesterday (Tues) and maybe today (wed) if the filming was at night. Maybe they just relocated base camp?

We know the cast/crew had at least one, if not two days off this weekend.

So there ya go... that's why they were still in Little Bo...or so I think. ;)

It's the only way it makes sense.

This pushed back Beaver Dam and Columbus, but that could let them get back on schedule for Milwaukee on the weekend of the 2nd.

'Public Enemies' filming could limit movement in Madison, WI next week.

"Public Enemies" in Beaver Dam and Milwaukee next week?

"Public Enemies" location information keeps popping up, so here are a couple of really interesting items that detail (with pictures!!) what's going on now in Beaver Dam and also in Milwaukee, as both locations prep for next week's scheduled filming. Street closure information has some streets in Milwaukee closed starting Monday, April 28 for the filming, and it's reported that Beaver Damn filming is scheduled for the 30.

"Public Enemies" stars Johnny Depp as John Dillinger and Christian Bale as his relentless hunter FBI "G Man" Melvin Purvis. The film is based on the true crime book, "Public Enemies" written by Bryan Burrough and is being directed for Universal by Michael Mann.

Beaver Dam prep work is going on, and there are some great photos on this site, where they list the filming date as Wednesday, April 30.

And then this column has really great pictures of the interior building renovations (including the bank vault) going on in Milwaukee as they prep for filming there that could begin as early as Monday the 28th.

"Public Enemies" to film in Madison in early May

"Public Enemies" is scheduled to film in Madison during the first part of May. While Johnny Depp stars in this Michael Mann film, he's not reported to be in every scene filmed in Madison. My best guess would also have Christian Bale who plays FBI "G-Man" Melvin Purvis and Billy Crudup who's portraying FBI crime czar J. Edgar Hoover in some of these Madison scenes.

Here's more about the filming in Madison;

Filming is expected to continue there though the twentieth as Oshkosh fills in for Sioux Falls where Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Homer Van Meter and their gang robbed the First National Bank while people were convinced they were watching a movie filming. The word on the street is that after filming in Oshkosh is completed they will move to Little Bohemia area to film the notorious FBI - Dillinger gang shoot out.

Correction: Filming is scheduled to begin Friday in Oshkosh.

Johnny Depp and the "Public Enemies" production crew have moved to Oshkosh, filming is scheduled to begin Friday. It's been reported that Oshkosh will stand in for Sioux Falls so they can replicate the great Sioux Falls robbery, where Dillinger's "advance man" Homer Van Meter arrived in the real Sioux Falls a day early to scope out the layout of the city and plan the "git," while there he told the citizens that he was there scouting locations for film that had a bank robbery scene in it. So the citizens, the next day, thought they were watching a film being made.

"Public Enemies" is based Bryan Burrough's book of the same name. The Universal Pictures film is being directed by Michael Mann and also stars Stephen Dorff as Homer Van Meter, Christian Bale as FBI agent Melvin Purvis and Marion Cotillard as Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette.

Johnny Depp's Public Enemies to release in December?

Public Enemies making news in Chicago

Here's a short news clip from Chicago's ABC 7 (WLS). I sure does look like actor Johnny Depp remains public enemy number one there in Chicago this week where he continues his portrayal of 1930s number one most wanted guy John Dillinger. Click here to see the news video.

"Public Enemies" films again tonight in Chicago, and news on Oshkosh, Little Bohemia and Beaver Dam

Johnny Depp's "Public Enemies" is once again slated to film tonight and into the early morning in Chicago. The film's being directed by Michael Mann.

Crews in Oshkosh are busy making that town resemble Sioux Falls in 1934. They've just taken down the spire from the outdoor sundial. Go
here for new pictures.

Rod's blog has a great report from Ty about his secret, undercover sleuthing and general noseying around up there in Little Bohemia. Little Bo is where the FBI thought they had public enemies John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and their "gang" cornered in a shoot up that took place back in April of 1934. The infamous FBI raid was led by "G-man" Melvin Purvis. Sad situation up there in Little Bo for folks NOT on the "most wanted" list. Be sure to look at Ty's picture album while you are there.

I highly recommend that everyone who's following this movie filming read or at least peruse the book that it's based on. "Public Enemies, America's Greatest Crime Wave and the Birth of the FBI, 1933 - 34" by Bryan Burrough. Lots of good stuff there and it will make it a heck of a lot more fun following the movie.

According to today's Chicago Tribune, Dillinger's "Still wanted after all these years" and their great article with pictures, side stories, maps, etc is just a click away from here.

Lastly it seems the dates for filming at the Rogers Hotel in Beaver Dam are being narrowed down somewhat.

If it's Wednesday, Public Enemies filming goes on in Chicago

Night scenes rock in Chicago. Johnny Depp's 'Public Enemies' was filming over night again in the Clark, Sheffield and Newport areas. Christian Bale was reportedly on set as was Depp and Cotillard. No confirmation yet on Marion Cotillard.

Apparently, according to this column security is a bit tighter and nocturnal fans are being kept a bit further away from the action, that does involve gun fire, and some chase scenes.

Also it's reported that PE costar Stephen Dorff was seen dining at Chicago's Lux Bar.

Public Enemies filming tonight in Chicago

"Public Enemies" filming is up and running tonight, this link was posted on imdb.com, they are reportedly pics of the Chicago shantytown village under and around the El track near Clark and Newport in the Wrigleyville area of Chicago, the poster said that these pics are from the last few days's filming including tonight. No news yet if Johnny Depp is on set tonight.

Our main forum server has been experiencing some system problems today. We hope that it's fixed. Thanks for your patience.

Oshkosh announcing street closings for "Public Enemies" starring Johnny Depp

The city of Oshkosh has announced that the "Public Enemies" producers have requested three street closings between April 10 and April 20. Details are expected to be released within the day.

Construction on buildings in the area including the Exclusive Company and New Moon and also work on the Masonic Temple is continuing today as they continue to turn downtown Oshkosh into a replica of 1930s Sioux Falls for the film Public Enemies starring Johnny Depp.

Public Enemies continues filming and Oshkosh makes ready

Reports came in over night that Johnny was on the Chicago set last night, no confirmation as yet though.

Looks like Oshkosh is busy getting ready to fill in as the location for the Sioux Falls Security National Bank and Trust robbery where the people of Sioux Falls thought the bank robbery was a scene for a film.

It looks like April 11 -17 is the time frame from the pre-production and filming, but the actual filming should only last a day or two.

This Oshkosh site has some great set pics.

Public Enemies is based on the true crime book penned by Bryan Burrough and the film is being directed my Michael Mann for Universal.
