Johnny Depp and Christian Bale Are Public Enemies

Empire Magazine has the first official photos from Michael Mann's highly-anticipated crime drama. Everything about this movie has me excited--Michael Mann doing not just gangsters but 1930's gangsters, Johnny Depp and Christian Bale headlining, Marion Cotillard and Channing Tatum in supporting roles... Set to hit next summer, the film is based in part on Bryan Burrough's fact-based book. The story revolves around top FBI agent Melvin Purvis (Christian Bale), who J. Edgar Hoover (Billy Crudup) groomed himself, as he leads the charge to take down the charming Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Johnny Depp). You'll have to buy a copy of Empire's newest edition (the one with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on the cover) to see the photos, but Cinematical has a couple of pictures up on their site.
