Looks like the Crown Point cast is rounding out as it's reported that Chicago actors John Lister and Alan Wilder to join Johnny Depp in "Public Enemies." The film is being directed by Michael Mann for Universal. According to this article Chicago actor John Lister has been tapped to play Judge William Murray. Murray was the presiding judge in the John Dillinger's Crown Point arraignment. And the role of the prominent prosecutor Robert Estill who was immortalized by Dillinger when he posed with his arm on Estill for a picture, will be played by Alan Wilder.

"Public Enemies" is based in a book written by Bryan Burrough and is expected to be released in 2009.

Public Enemies filming takes a break for Easter weekend, Johnny's left WI for now

Johnny Depp has left Columbus, WI. But not to worry, he's scheduled to be back on the "Public Enemies" set on location in Crown Point, IN on Monday, March 24 and possibly the 25th

Here are some great news items that tell us about the wrap up in Columbus and Darlington yesterday and some tell us about what's going on in Crown Point in anticipation of the cast and crew arriving in Crown Point on Monday. Look for Johnny's co-star from Arizona Dream, Lili Taylor to portray Crown Point Sheriff Lillian Holley, who took over as Sheriff after the death of her husband. Seems Dillinger easily escaped from her jail, and then to add insult to injury, stole her car for his get-away!

After the Crown Point filming, it's possible for some filming in Madison perhaps on the 26 through the 28, maybe second unit stuff. That's pretty tentative for now though.

Public Enemies with Johnny Depp to be in Darlington today

As we go into the third day of location filming of Johnny Depp's "Public Enemies", part of the cast and crew will move to Darlington WI for scenes at the Lafayette County Courthouse and the second unit team is slated to continue in Columbus today and tomorrow the 20. Look for Marion Cotillard to be on set.

This is what I've read and/or heard about filming the next few days, everything is always tentative and subject to weather and also just the typical being "off schedule" that happens in live location filming in public areas.

Look for filming in Madison to happen 20 and 21, it's only about 65 miles away so it's quite doable.

Crown Point is scheduled for filming on the 24 and 25.

As we know, Aurora Ill is on the schedule for April 6 and 7 at the Paramount theater, a supposed fill in for the Biograph.


You'll find some really informative items in these two articles.

As was announced yesterday, Aurora Ill's Paramount theater may be the fill in for the Biograph, which some have said is now too modern.
