Boy oh boy, PUBLIC ENEMIES and WATCHMEN are two of my most anticipated movies for 2009. So I'm glad to announce that the official trailer for MICHAEL MANNS (COLLATERAL, MIAMI VICE, HEAT) crime thriller has just been released. The flick features an uber cast: JOHNNY DEPP as legendary bank robber John Dillinger, CHRISTIAN BALE as FBI agent Melvin Purvis and MARION COTILLARD (won the Oscar 2008 for best female lead in LA VIE EN ROSE) as Dillingers girlfriend Billie Frechette.
PE will hit the big screen in July in the U.S. and August in Europe!

You better write this down, because one year from now this is the flick everybody is talking about. MICHAEL MANN (HEAT, COLLATERAL) joined forces with JOHNNY DEPP for PUBLIC ENEMIES. The movie tells the story about FBI agent Melvin Purvis (CHRISTIAN BALE) trying to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger (DEPP), Baby Face Nelson (STEPHEN GRAHAM - of SNATCH fame) and Pretty Boy Floyd (CHANNING TATUM) during a booming crime wave in the 1930s. The cast also features MARION COTILLARD, BILLY CRUDUP, STEPHEN DORFF and GIOVANNI RIBISI! Filming just ended. Premiere is set for July 2009.
