Exclusive: First Public Enemies Pictures See Depp and Bale in Mann's latest
It's one of the most exciting films of next year, and we have the first images of Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Michael Mann's Public Enemies.

There is no denying the quality of the cast in this film, and having read a few of the script drafts online it sounds amazing.

This is going to be so so great.
Anyone got a feeling that 2009 is going to be one of those mentioned in "best year for film?" discussions?

Looks interesting this, i too am a huge Mann fan hopefully he well let the plot do the talking like Heat and Collateral and not be overly indulgent with details which hamper the narrative. Great cast. ... Read More
