Depp's Public Enemies rolls on

With "Public Enemies" lead man, Johnny Depp, off for the weekend, news stories and internet chatter have slowed down a bit. Even though Johnny won Best Male Actor at the Kids Choice Awards yesterday. We know filming has continued in Chicago with Christian Bale and Rory Cochrane. There's been some talk that imdb.com has not updated the casting information and that Rory Cochrane is playing FBI agent W. Carter Baum. Agent Baum mistakenly killed a civilian at Little Bohemia. Time will tell about this one.

Here's what's out there this Sunday morning:

Public Enemies pulls an all nighter in Chicago

The "Public Enemies" film starring Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Rory Cochrane continues to film this weekend, but without Depp. Reports are fast and furious about the filming that went on over night in Chicago that had Bale and Cochrane working in the freezing weather all night. Christian Bale is playing FBI "G-Man" Melvin Purvis and Cochrane is playing Phil D'Andrea, a member of a Chicago syndicate. Depp's Dillinger character isn't needed for these Chicago scenes. "Public Enemies" is being directed by Michael Mann and is based on the true crime book of the same name written by Bryan Burrough.

Filming reportedly will move to Aurora, IL next week, to film at the Paramount Theater there, look for Depp to be on hand.
