Wise Guys: New ‘Public Enemies’ Pics Show Depp, Bale, Tommy Guns

Posted by Dr. Cole Abaius (cole.abaius@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 28, 2009

Public Enemies

Public Enemies barely got left off of our Most Anticipated List for 2009, but just barely. As I recall, the argument of whether to include it lasted long into the night, and, at one point, Neil attacked me with a stapler.

Luckily, I now have more than my stapler scar to remind me to get excited for a film that focuses on the FBI’s growth in power as they hunt down some of American History’s most legendary mobsters – Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson

Check out Depp and Bale for yourself:

Pretty cool stuff. Always nice to see what appear to be self-bandaged gun shot wounds. Obviously with the big names, Public Enemies and director Michael Mann will probably have little trouble getting butts into seats this summer.

What do you think? Excited? Apathetic? Wishing you owned a Tommy Gun?

    This is definitely one of the must-see films of 2009. Bale, Depp, Mann. Forgetaboutit.
  • HELLL YES YES YES YES YES!!!!

    I am happy to see Johnny Depp in a serious, non-wacky role.. finally. And this movie should be good.
  • Nevernude
    Aw Hell Yea!
    Anything with Bale....count me in!
  • This movie is going to be great. One of the must see films of the year for sure.

    It has Bale in it, that's all you need to say to get me in the theater. That guy is a seriously talented actor. His films are ALL genious in my book, and his performances in them are always fantastic. But I will admit that the raspy Batman voice in TDK pissed me off big time. What the hell was up with that? Does anyone here know why he did all his costumed lines like that? Is there a reason, or was it just Bale ad-libbing? I am seriously hoping someone told him to do that, because if he CHOSE to do that, well I'd have to rethink my stance on all of his performances.

    Bad voice work in one performance wouldn't erase all the good he has done previously, but that was pretty stupid.

    And Johnny Depp is just icing on the cake. That guy is pretty damned talented too. I agree with ANGRYBROOMSTICK that it is good to see Depp in a serious role. I love the personal connection Depp has to the character, and I think that will make his performance even more compelling. I just can't wait to see this movie. Even though we all know what ultimately will happen in the end, it doesn't lessen my desire to see it. I'll be there on opening night!

    The raspy voice he used when only in costume was likely another way in which he was simply trying to hide his true identity. True, he could have just used one of those voice scrambler devices like the guys in "Scream," but I think that would have been slightly more tacky.
  • I get it. It's still pretty damned stupid.
  • Hey! I thought the raspy voice was kinda cool. It was a good way to intimidate people, I think that's why he did it.

    And I've gotta disagree on Depp. I think he lost his film mojo. The guy hasn't been in anything good in a really long time. I just dont think I can trust his choices anymore.

    I'm really worried about this film.
  • Damn, those guys look cool. I'd be their moll any day of the week.
  • I second that sister!

    Depp is my fvorite actor. I have yet to see all his films but I haven't found one that is bad. Bale is also a very talented actor and I can't wait field his take as John Connor in Terminator Salvation. These two actors and Mann directing make this one of my most anticipated movies of the year. These pics look great and I can't wait for a trailer.

    Plus the iPhone compatibility you guys set up is great. Thanks
