JOHNNY DEPP was IN CHICAGO FILMING NEW MOVIE - In theaters THIS SUMMER

Hollywood makes A LOT of movies in Chicago every year. Since Chicago has a notorious gangster past, Hollywood is once again in town to make their latest gangster movie. Today, April 5, 2008, and all this week Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are in Chicago filming a new movie called "Public Enemies" about the life of gangster John Dillinger and the birth of the FBI, set in the 1930s Depression. Nine years ago, I actually lived four blocks away from the Biograph Theater where Dillinger was shot in 1934. In the other direction from my house five blocks away, this is where Al Capone's St. Valentine Day's Massacre took place in 1929. Johnny Depp plays John Dillinger and Christian Bale plays Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who tracked Dillinger to the Biograph Theater, which I happen to pass by all the time. Last Tuesday, April 2, they were right down the street from my house, filming on the exact corner where I had just went this past February to get my income tax done. The film crew had brought in a snow-making truck so that it would look like winter time on the set. One block from there is Wrigley Field, where Dillinger attended several Cubs games in 1934 while hiding out from police. The casting company was auditioning for extras in Chicago, but female extras have to be a dress size no larger than 10, so that cancelled me out. The film is also being shot in Wisconsin and Indiana. Movies always come out 12 months after the close of the filming, so look for "Public Enemies" in theaters around Summer/Fall 2009. to more easily read the captions under my Slideshow photos of Johnny Depp filming the movies here in Chicago.
